Children are taught personal skills such as those listed below:

- Establish and maintain relationships.
- Communicate effectively.
- Recognise their achievements and mistakes and how to handle them.
- Share their views and discuss what’s fair and unfair, what’s right and what’s wrong, whilst challenging others' views respectfully.
- Set themselves goals and how to achieve them.
- Keep themselves safe and healthy as they grow.
- Play an active role as a citizen.
- Respond to challenge.
Children also learn the following:
- How the choices they make can affect other people and the environment.
- About diversity, inclusion and acceptance.
- Healthy and unhealthy relationships.
- About how and why rules are made.
- How to cope with mental and emotional well-being.
- Online safety.
- Puberty / growing and changing.
- Financial aspects: how to keep money safe, how to earn money, what money is used for.
- Safety (fire, road, railway, water).
