‘The BELONG Accreditation’ package incorporates a set of 6 standards that students will work towards in order to develop themselves personally throughout their school career with us. These standards cover important aspects of personal development that will help students become confident, happy, resilient young adults. To fulfil the 6 standards during the time students are with us, all students will be encouraged by all staff to get involved in some of the clubs, trips, visits, school productions and many other things that go on at Whitcliffe Mount. Most of these things are free to our students and can have a huge impact on happiness, confidence and overall well-being.  

Attendance to before, during and after school clubs, trips, visits, enrichment activities, participation in school productions, school councils, fundraising activities and any other extra-curricular initiatives that students take part in will be recorded and shared with students, staff and parents. 

The activities that students take part in will naturally fulfil many of the 6 standards, but where there are gaps in students’ experience of a particular standard, we will provide opportunities for these standards to be achieved. All students are expected to embark on our personal development pathway; ‘The Whitcliffe Mount BELONG accreditation’, and all students will graduate at the end of Year 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 at either a bronze, silver, gold or platinum level. The student standards (BELONG) can be found below:  
  
Be safe, respectful and listen to others 
Engage in your learning  
Look after our environment as a leader  
Own the choices that you make  
Never give up in achieving your personal best  
Great pride in our unform and community  

Students must complete an achievement from each standard in order to achieve their accreditation at 
Bronze and Silver. They will have to achieve 2 from each standard at Gold and 2 more at Platinum.
