PSHE

The school uses the Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) curriculum to promote students’ personal, social, emotional and physical health and economic development. All students will be taught to celebrate diversity and interrogate social norms and challenge stereotypes. Our curriculum(s) will help our students to be tolerant and show respect to others; our students will be taught how to be good citizens with qualities and attributes they need to thrive as healthy, independent and responsible members of society. 

Curriculum Intent:

• Promote emotional wellbeing and mental health. 
• Promote difference and acceptance. 
• Allow students to learn about topics of a sensitive nature without fear of judgement, stigma or embarrassment. 
• Help develop the qualities and attributes needed to thrive as individuals, family members and members of both the school and wider society, including taking responsibility for their own behaviour and showing initiative. 
• Provide the knowledge, understanding and skills needed to manage lives now and in the future. 
• To support students in staying safe from exploitation and abuse. 
• Allow all students to contribute and benefit from learning and discussions. 
• Help students to support one another and themselves as they grow and learn. 

The PSHE curriculum has important knowledge and understanding to help ensure we meet our aims and statutory content. Our curriculum map provides information about what is covered and when and can be found here.  Our RSE Policy can be found here.

Our RSE partners, Split Banana, deliver sessions on drop-down days as per our SOW. Session overviews can be found here.
