Personal Development at Caistor Yarborough Academy is student centred and is an ongoing journey that engages our young people with the world around them, empowering them to cultivate personal, emotional, social, and physical well-being, leading to lives that are healthy, safe, and fulfilling.

Personal Development encompasses a number of key elements, including Personal, Social and Health Education, Spiritual development, Enrichment opportunities and Careers.  These strands aim to help young people to understand how they are developing personally and socially, and tackles many of the moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up.

At the heart of Personal Development is our CYA Citizen Initiative.  The Initiative is a central aspect of the school’s ethos, promoting a sense of belonging, purpose, and community among students  It encourages students to get the most out of their time at Caistor Yarborough Academy and is about celebrating successes both in school and out of school.  Through the theme of “Part of the Academy, Part of the Family!” it encourages them to play a positive role in academy life.  Click on the link below to find out more on how the Initiative works.

Furthermore, the commitment to “Excellence for All” signifies an inclusive approach to education, ensuring that every student has access to a broad range of opportunities that cater to their individual interests and talents.
