Ethics Philosophy and Citizenship ‘EPC’ lessons

We would like to encourage our parents/careers to discuss what their children have learnt in their EPC lessons this week, helping to expand their personal development.

At Don Valley Academy, our core personal development programme is delivered through Ethics Philosophy and Citizenship ‘EPC’ lessons. EPC places social and personal development at the heart of its design, with group discussion, self-expression and the promotion of tolerance & respect towards the opinions of others assessed in each unit of work. Providing opportunities for pupils to develop confidence, resilience and knowledge to stay mentally and physically healthy are also included and developed on a cross curricular level.
