Personal Development and Mutual Understanding (PDMU) focuses on encouraging each child to become personally, emotionally and socially effective, to lead healthy, safe and fulfilled lives and to become confident, independent and responsible citizens, making informed and responsible choices and decisions throughout their lives.

We are a PATHS (Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies) school.  We use the PATHS programme to teach the majority of the curriculum requirements for PDMU.  PATHS is an evidence based programme designed to facilitate the development of self-control, emotional awareness, peer relations and interpersonal problem-solving skills. 

PDMU links are also made through the Thematic Scheme where topics lend themselves to meaningful study.  PDMU learning in school also includes Relationships and Sexuality Education, Drugs Awareness, Anti-bullying, Road Safety and E-Safety. P.D.M.U within the school is also enhanced by:-

Whole School and Key Stage assemblies
