Opportunities for personal achievement

Personal achievement provides children and young people with a sense of satisfaction and helps to build motivation, resilience and confidence.

The experiences and outcomes include opportunities for a range of achievements in the classroom and beyond.

All establishments need to plan to offer opportunities for achievement and to provide the support and encouragement which will enable young people to step forward to undertake activities which they find challenging.

This is one of the key areas where schools need to work closely with voluntary youth organisations to help young people access information and opportunities and make their voices heard.
