Personal Development

At New Mills School, we believe that education is about more than academic success—it’s about nurturing well-rounded individuals who are confident, resilient, and ready to thrive in all aspects of life. Our personal development program complements academic learning by focusing on students' character, values, and skills.

Through a rich blend of pastoral care, extra-curricular activities, leadership opportunities, and enrichment experiences, we help students build the self-awareness, empathy, and determination they need to succeed. From exploring Fundamental British Values to participating in team-building activities, every element of our program is designed to align with our core values: Think Big, Do the Right Thing, and Team Spirit.

By fostering personal growth alongside academic achievement, we ensure our students are exceptionally well-prepared for their next steps and for making a meaningful impact in the world.
