At Wren Park, we recognise that the primary years are a key time for children to develop their own identity and aspirations for the future. As well as academic development, it is essential that children are given plenty of opportunities, through the curriculum and beyond, for personal development. By nurturing our children’s personal development skills, we aim to provide the essential knowledge that pupils need to be educated citizens, preparing pupils for their adult lives and teaching them to understand how to engage with society.
