PSHE

The main aim of the PSHE programme across the school is to raise students' confidence and help them to develop interpersonal skills, social skills and communication skills in preparation for adult life.

Students will cover a variety of important and sensitive topics across KS3, KS4 and KS5 e.g. drugs and alcohol; personal health; sex and relationships; personal safety; study skills; personal finance; careers and citizenship. Sometimes the topics are revisited across the Key Stages but looking at different aspects and at a deeper or more detailed level.

Students are encouraged to form and then share their views and opinions by participating in group and class discussions. They are also provided with a range of factual information within their lessons and by outside providers so that they can eventually make informed decisions for themselves. Wherever possible students are involved in learning actively.
