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 (Tutor time)
​
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.
​
Act of Celebrating 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.
​
The 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’.
News - Using picture news students take the time to stop, study and discuss a relevant news story. This will include a careers focus, a protected characteristics focus and a British Values focus.
​
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, the weekly focus is dictated by behaviour trends or the Head of Year​
​
RSHE (Relationships, sex and health education)
​
As a college we have a statutory responsibility to deliver RSHE education to our students. RSHE is delivered through our personal development curriculum, SAINT curriculum and through our RE and Science curriculums. We our committed to delivering an ambitious and age-appropriate curriculum that is founded in the teachings of the Catholic Church and prepares our students with the knowledge and skills for life in 21st Century Britain.
The RSHE curriculum at Bishop Milner uses a wide range of resources that allow our students to discover and discuss the topics they encounter. Much of the curriculum is supported by TenTen resources and we are proud of the curriculum being individually tailored for each year group.
