Why do we learn personal development?
PSHE and RSE, gives pupils the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to keep themselves healthy, safe and prepare them for life and work in modern Britain. Alongside developing the skills and attributes they need to manage their lives now and in the future.
The PSHE Programme will embrace the challenges of creating happy and successful young adults, students will acquire the knowledge that will enable them to make informed decisions about their own and others wellbeing, health and relationships and to build their self-efficacy. Students will also put this knowledge into practice as they develop the capacity to make sound decisions when facing risks, challenges and complex contexts. This subject can support young people to develop resilience, to know how and when to ask for help, and to know where to access support.
High quality, evidence-based and age-appropriate teaching of this subject will help prepare students for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adult life. It will also promote the spiritual, moral, social and cultural, mental and physical development of pupils, at school and in society. The programme will help students to interact properly with their teachers and fellow students, turning their classroom into a better learning environment.
Our approach
PSHE is taught during tutor time twice a week, as well as drop-down days throughout the year which allow for external speakers and services to deliver some topics.
