R-Time (Personal Development)
At The Derby High School, our R-Time curriculum is relevant, meaningful and designed to help students become healthy, independent and responsible members of society — both now and in later life.
R-Time builds confidence, encourages safe risk-taking, and deepens understanding of a wide range of personal, social and emotional topics. Content is well-planned and sequenced throughout Key Stages 3 and 4, while remaining flexible enough to respond to local, national and global issues as they arise.
Our programme promotes active involvement in family, school, social, economic and civic life. Students revisit three core themes each year to ensure depth, progression and reflection:
-
Health and Wellbeing
-
Relationships
-
Living in the Wider World
Each half term, year groups also explore awareness days and national events, linking learning to real-world issues and opportunities for discussion.
