At Chilthorne Domer Church School, we are proud to support all children to develop social awareness; strength of character; acceptance of others; and academic confidence. Personal Development is not an added extra – it is woven through all we do. Through every interaction; every lesson; every event; every assembly. Our primary aim is to prepare children for the wider world so that they can have a strong sense of purpose and belonging, and so that they have the confidence to make their voices heard.

We are committed to providing a purposeful and empowering curriculum that fully prepares learners for the next steps in their school career and the wider world. We want our children to aspire to achieve and believe that it is essential that they understand the world in which they live. Broadening our children’s horizons and giving them the belief that they are capable of achieving great things drives our curriculum. We aim to give the children the knowledge and understanding they need to make informed choices and to be a positive influence in the communities that they belong to. 

Personal Development at Chilthorne Domer Church School is woven into all aspects of school life, and we pride ourselves on providing an environment for all pupils to thrive and mature into well-informed young adults. 

We aim to embrace the many talents and interests of our pupils and offer a wide range of extracurricular opportunities.

We want our learners to feel empowered with the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to manage life’s challenges and make the most of life’s opportunities. We aim to give our learners the knowledge and tools they need to understand how to take care of themselves, physically and mentally, and how they can stay safe and thrive in an ever-changing world. 

Throughout our curriculum, we link to our school vision and values, British Values and protected characteristics.
