Subject: PSHE
CURRICULUM INTENT
Our PSHE curriculum has been carefully planned in order to meet the needs of our pupils. It is our aim to equip our young people to acquire the knowledge, understanding and skills they need to manage their lives now and in the future, to support them in living their lives ‘in all its fulness’ (John 10;10). Our PSHE programme of study deals with the real life issues affecting our students, families and communities. It is concerned with the social, health and economic realities of our lives, experiences and attitudes. All statutory requirements for PSHE (including RSE, Careers and Citizenship) are included within discreet PSHE lessons, and where appropriate, in other aspects of school life.
The curriculum follows a thematic approach, as devised by the PSHE Association. Each year group has the opportunity to explore three core themes: Health and Wellbeing, Relationships and Living in the Wider World. The content and delivery of these themes have been specifically designed to meet the needs of our pupils.
