Our Personal Development
At Bishop Milner Catholic College we place equal importance on the academic, spiritual and social development of all students. The personal development and well-being of our students runs throughout College life.
The SAINT Curriculum
At Bishop Milner Catholic College, we recognise that the relationship between the student and tutor is precious. We have a bold and engaging tutor time programme that is rooted in the teachings of the church and allows our students to journey with their tutor in investigating and discussing a wide range of topics
Each morning has a particular focus, this differs dependent on the year group but throughout the week each student will cover each of the topics below.
SMSVC (PD) – Social, moral, spiritual, social, vocational, cultural – On this day all students in Year 7-11 take part in their RSHE or PSHE lessons. Students have a tutor book which highlights their learning journey.
Assembly (Celebration of the Word)– The year group gathers together in prayer and reflection with a weekly focus. This is delivered by the Head of Year or other key staff member.
Investing in me – Students take part in developing their study skills and exploring how they learn best. An example of study may include ‘the growth mindset’, ‘ the VESPA model’ or ‘how to take effective study notes’.
National Awareness - Using a range of resources students reflect on a specific British Value. Resources include Picture News and The Day. These resources all support students in developing their oracy.
The Milner Way- Our behaviour curriculum is a living document that we refer to in all areas of daily life. For one morning a week a specific part of the curriculum is reflected upon. This is also a morning when behaviour and attendance data is shared and celebrated.
RSHE (Relationships, Sex and Health education)
As a college we have a statutory responsibility to deliver RSHE education to our students. We are committed to delivering an ambitious and age-appropriate curriculum that is founded in the teachings of the Catholic Church and that prepares our students with the knowledge and skills for life in 21st Century Britain. Our curriculum uses the diocesan approved TenTen resources.
The TenTen Parent Portal can be accessed to support the teaching of PSHE and RSHE at home:
