Personal Development
At Cayton, we strive to prepare students for their future as responsible citizens, willing to make a positive contribution to society with an appreciation of diversity and a respect for British Values and equality. We provide a wide number of rich and varied experiences and opportunities through our curriculum to develop talents, interests and an individuals cultural capital.
We recognise that it is important that our students know how to keep themselves safe and how to care for both their mental and physical wellbeing whilst they also develop personal traits, and virtues that will motivate and guide our students to flourish in their community and in society, with confidence and resilience.
This focus on Personal Development and Character Education are all promoted through our bespoke curriculum with a focus on our six areas of awards: Courage, Achievement, Your Actions, Tolerance, Our World and Nurturing.

CCCCC - Cayton Cultural, Capital, Citizenship and Community Passport
At Cayton School, we want to provide every child with the curriculum opportunities beyond the academic, ensuring they have access to a wide, rich set of experiences. We have created a passport (CCCCC) where we provide cultural development experiences where children participate and respond positively to artistic, musical, sporting and cultural opportunities throughout their time at Cayton School. Please see some examples here....
