Our Vision
By the time they leave Year 11, our students will be able to make informed decisions regarding their own health (including sexual health) and personal well-being whilst having regard for the well-being and rights of others.
The programme of study for PSHE covers Years 7 to 11 and is based on three core themes drawn from PSHE Association Programme of Study:
- Health and Wellbeing
- Relationships
- Living in the Wider World
