Personal Development Programme (PDP)

The Personal Development Programme (PDP) is designed to add a different but important dimension to the education of the pupils of Hull Collegiate School Sixth Form. It provides them with a much broader view of their own special capabilities. Additionally, it will allow them to acquire skills and attributes that both universities and employers seek in addition to academic qualifications.

In the end, they will have more to offer in their chosen paths, either in higher education or employment, such as teambuilding skills, leadership skills, presentation skills and independent and cooperative learning skills.
