PSHE

Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHE)

Subject Intent:  

We aim to develop resilient, independent, loving and caring individuals who have a sound awareness of the key principles of relationships, respect, careers, health and safety to prepare them for future life.  

We wish to:  

  • develop pupils’ cultural capital by giving pupils the information they require to gain a knowledge of the wider world through awe and wonder experiences.  
  • create an understanding of a multicultural and diverse world in which we live.   
  • promote acceptance, respect and celebrate our differences.   
  • inspire awareness of local and wider communities to make positive changes to the world. 
  • embed how to keep safe  
  • foster British values and what it means to be British.  
  • Expand understandings of careers to prepare and inspire pupils.  
  • nurture positive relationships (including RSE). 
  • cultivate positive, healthy strategies for physical and mental wellbeing.
