Personal Development at Moulsham High School

At Moulsham High School, we strongly believe that we have a responsibility to develop our students personally as well as academically. In particular we want students to:

• Grow into responsible, respectful and active citizens.
• Reflect wisely, learn eagerly, behave with integrity and cooperate consistently well with others.
• Possess confidence and resilience.
• Understand how to keep healthy (physically and mentally) and maintain an active lifestyle.
• Develop their individual interests and talents. 

To achieve these aims, students are offered a wide, rich set of experiences both within and outside the taught curriculum. These include: 

• Trips and visits, e.g. Stubbers in Year 7, the Battlefields in Year 9 and Tate Modern in Year 11.
• A wide variety of sports clubs.
• Music groups and our annual musical production (‘School Of Rock’ in 2019).
• Subject led clubs such as those in science and geography.
• Charity fundraising, e.g. the Thriftwood School Party and The Tenner Challenge.
• Leadership opportunities, including student librarians, prefects, sports leaders and school council representatives.
• Visiting speakers, e.g. a Holocaust survivor, our local M.P.
• Visiting theatre companies, e.g. Frantic Assembly, the Tudors workshop.
