Building thriving relationships for life
The Big Think uses a foundation of values to support pupils in developing meaningful relationships with peers, their local community, and the world around them. Our work also provides evidence of fulfilling Ofsted’s Personal Development criteria.
How the value of Peace supports the personal development of pupils
Pupils learn to self-regulate their emotions and reflect on how to be confident, resilient and aware so that they can keep themselves mentally healthy and physically safe.
How the value of Responsibility supports the personal development of pupils
Pupils rehearse and review their responsible decision making skills so they can choose personal actions that make them responsible, respectful citizens.
How the value of Love supports the personal development of pupils
Pupils practise relationship skills so that they can thrive together, understand that difference is a positive and that individual characteristics make people unique. They consider a range of loving relationships in different contexts.
How the value of Truth supports the personal development of pupils
Learners develop self-awareness skills and nurture their character strengths to become motivated to make changes, reflect wisely, learn eagerly, behave with integrity and cooperate consistently well with others.
How the value of Community supports the personal development of pupils
Pupils develop social awareness skills so they can actively contribute to an inclusive culture and become fully engaged citizens who feel they can positively impact the world around them.
