PSHE
Our PSHE curriculum challenges pupils to become creative, successful and happy individuals.
We focus on six core themes including Citizenship Education which is woven throughout its delivery:
- Core Theme 1: Rights, Responsibilities & British Values
- Core Theme 2: Celebrating Diversity & Equality
- Core Theme 3: Relationships & Sex Education (RSE)
- Core Theme 4: Staying safe online
- Core Theme 5: Health & Wellbeing
- Core Theme 6: Life Beyond School

We aim to equip students with the skills and knowledge they will need to face current and topical issues and that will allow them to respond with resilience to future change and challenge in their personal lives and the wider world. Pupils throughout the school have one hour of PSHE per week, this happens as a whole school in order to enhance the importance of PSHE in the curriculum. It is delivered through the pastoral curriculum and is also supplemented through discrete delivery across the academic curriculum.
