Personal, Social, Health & Citizenship Education (PSHCE)
PSHCE allows students to question, explore and gain the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to keep themselves aware, healthy, safe and prepared for life and work in the modern world. PSHCE helps students manage the opportunities, challenges and responsibilities they will face while growing up.
Knowledge Outline for Key Stage 3 (Years 7, 8 &9) and Key Stage 4 (Years 10 & 11)
The Personal, Social, Health (as well as economic) part of education aims to develop resilience, self-esteem, risk-management, teamworking and critical thinking through the following core themes:
- Health & wellbeing
- Living in the wider world
- Relationships
By the end of KS4 students will have developed the knowledge and skills they need to manage their lives both then, and in the future, and to take their place in society as responsible citizens. Students will be able to make informed decisions on a variety of challenges, including understanding the risks involved with the use of drugs & alcohol, keeping themselves safe online and managing their physical and mental wellbeing.
The Citizenship aspect of education will develop understanding and awareness of democracy, government and how laws are made and upheld in the UK.
By the end of KS4 students will know how the United Kingdom is governed through its political system and have a sound knowledge and understanding of the law and justice system. Students will understand and how
laws are made and enforced.
PSHCE is taught across the school through lessons, tutor time and assemblies and is also integrated into our curriculum through our ASPIRE programme and its four learning habits:
- Learning to Understand
- Individuality
- Focusing
- Evolving With Others
