PSHE

Intent & Purpose

Enquiring and caring global citizens 

Excellent PSHE education helps children and young people to stay safe, healthy and prepared for life's challenges and opportunities. 

PSHE education inspires pupils to develop the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to thrive as individuals, family members and members of society. From making responsible decisions about alcohol to succeeding in their first job, PSHE education helps pupils to manage many of the most critical opportunities, challenges and responsibilities they will face growing up.  

 

Implementation & Learning

PSHE (personal, social, health and economic) education is a subject through which pupils develop the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to manage their lives, now and in the future. 

PSHE education helps pupils to stay healthy, safe and prepared for life – and work – in the modern world. 

 

International Mindedness and British Values

British values are explicitly taught at the start of every academic year to all year groups. They then underpin all lessons across the three strands, alongside our IB values.
