Personal Development and Wellbeing

At Standish Community High School, we place pupil wellbeing at the heart of our culture and curriculum.  We are committed to creating a safe, inclusive and nurturing environment where every student feels valued, supported and empowered to thrive. Our wellbeing ambassadors, active student council and wide range of student leadership roles ensure that young people have a strong voice in shaping their school experience.

We offer an inclusive and diverse extra-curricular programme, complemented by a rich calendar of educational visits that broaden horizons and deepen learning. Our topical Personal Development Programme (PDP) and extensive careers offer—recognised through our achievement of both The Quality in Careers Standard National Quality Award for Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance Provision and the Optimus Education Wellbeing Award for Schools—equip students with the knowledge, skills and resilience they need to flourish in school and in life to become successful learners, confident individuals and responsible citizens.

Through high-quality pastoral care and a whole-school ethos of support, every young person is known, heard and able to succeed.
