PSHE
PSHE and Citizenship is integral to the personal, social, health and safe well being of students and an essential part of every student's curriculum. The Every Child Matters agenda is central to the objectives and delivery of our programme which promotes education of the ‘whole child'. We aim to deliver a fun, enjoyable programme that enhances student's self esteem and autonomy and to prepare them with the necessary communicative and social skills needed in life to make well informed, safe and healthy choices.

What the Students say….

The Curriculum
Key Stage 4
Year 10 students complete the AQA Preparation for Working Life qualification. Year 11 students work through modules to broaden their understanding of life issues; careers options, EU, Human Rights, SRE and Drugs education.
PSHEe and Citizenship is taught as a spiral subject so content is age specific but topics are re-visited throughout the years.
Assessment takes place at the end of every unit with the opportunity to self assess and teacher assess the learning. In Year 10 students complete coursework by Christmas and sit an exam in May.
We endeavour to organise specialist speakers to come in and supplement the lesson content. We have had people come in from the Army, Connexions, Road Safety Team and the Chantelle Bleu charity.
