PSHEE

AIMS

The overarching aim of the PSHEE curriculum is to provide all pupils and students with the necessary life skills in order that they can lead happy, healthy, safe and prosperous lives both in their time in school and in their futures. This will incorporate learning from the three main themes of PSHEE, Health and Wellbeing (H&W), Relationship and Sex Education (RSE) and Living in The Wider Word (LITWW). The DfE statutory content for RSE and Health and Wellbeing will be covered along with Careers Learning and Financial Education in LITWW. As a result of such learning our pupils can then make a valid and worthwhile contribution to our society. Pupils will have experience of learning from Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural issues along with British Values.

CURRICULUM

KS3

In Years 7 and 8 pupils have one lesson every two weeks. Pupils begin or are introduced to key areas to develop their knowledge and understanding in an age-appropriate and timely manner.

KS4

In Years 9-11, pupils continue to have one lesson every two weeks. New content is delivered or built upon during these years for each theme in line with a spiral approach again in an age-appropriate and timely manner.

FACILITIES AND RESOURCES

PSHEE for most pupils is delivered in the dedicated classroom for PSHEE in the Queen’s Wing. There is a Subject Leader who is largely responsible for the delivery of the curriculum.

Enrichment

The learning in PSHEE is supplemented in school with outside agencies who come in and deliver assemblies/workshops. PSHEE themes/topics are also considered by the tutor time programme through Votes for Schools and assemblies. View our PSHEE Procedure and RSE Procedure for further information.
