Letter to Parents and Carers: Personal Development

Wed 30 Sep 2026
Dear Parents and Carers,

Personal Development

At Outwood Academy Shafton, we believe in supporting every student’s personal development and holistic growth. Alongside our daily classroom learning, we take great pride in recognising and celebrating the wonderful achievements of our students both within school and across the wider community.

If your child has gone above and beyond - whether through local community volunteering, sporting accomplishments, creative and performing arts, or leadership in youth clubs - we would love to hear about it! Please take a moment to submit your nomination using our Above & Beyond Nomination Form 

It is always truly inspiring to celebrate the remarkable activities and contributions of our students outside of school.

Yours sincerely,


Sarah Riley
Assistant Principal
