PSHE (non-examined)

Overview Our aim is to promote the happiness and well-being of our pupils. PSHE is interwoven within the curriculum and delivered through small group discussions and lectures. It is an important strand in the pastoral life of the School. Our goal is to encourage our students to develop sufficient understanding of the content to help them become rounded, fulfilled individuals and help them to act as responsible citizens. Our programme is varied and sensitive to changing social pressures and individual needs. Each week the students meet with their Tutor on multiple occasions. The Tutor supports students in their academic and pastoral life at school.

Syllabus The sessions follow a formal Scheme of Work, which covers a wide range of topics including risk, relationships, diversity, healthy lifestyles, change, loss and financial capability. Course Aims PSHE education is a school subject through which pupils develop the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to keep themselves healthy and safe, and prepare for life and work in modern Britain. Evidence shows that well-delivered PSHE programmes have an impact on both academic and non-academic outcomes for pupils, particularly the most vulnerable and disadvantaged.
