10.10 Personal Development Programme
The 10:10 Personal Development Programme (PDP) is dedicated to nurturing the spiritual, personal, and academic growth of every student. Delivered during weekly 90-minute tutorial sessions by dedicated Personal Development Tutors, our curriculum empowers students to develop lifelong habits of character, community, and service.
Our PDP framework is built around five core pillars:
- Virtues & Morality: Living out foundational Catholic character values.
- Destinations: Preparing students for higher education and future careers.
- Skills: Building practical, personal, and professional capabilities.
- Opportunities: Expanding horizons through enriching experiences.
- Value Added: Developing well-rounded, resilient individuals.
Core Virtues & Values
As an inclusive Catholic college for the whole community, we cultivate key Theological, Cardinal, and Fundamental British Values to help our students flourish as responsible, thoughtful citizens.
| Core Value | Key Principles |
| Faith, Hope & Charity | Accepting truth, rising above challenges, and demonstrating active love for our neighbours. |
| Prudence & Fortitude | Making wise decisions and standing up bravely for what is right. |
| Temperance & Justice | Acting with measured self-control and upholding fairness and respect for all. |
| Democracy & Rule of Law | Understanding rights and responsibilities within a safe, lawful, and equal society. |
| Individual Liberty & Mutual Respect | Protecting personal freedoms while respecting and welcoming diverse beliefs. |
Through these shared values and our alignment with the UK Prevent Strategy, we actively promote mutual respect, personal responsibility, and safety across our entire college and the wider community.
Our Programme explores important safeguarding matters such as online safety, digital wellbeing, radicalisation and extremism and healthy relationships, to ensure every young person knows how to navigate the modern world safely and responsibly.
