PSHE

‘The final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands’ - Anne Frank

Purpose of study 

A purposeful and encouraging PSHE education will enable children to develop the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to manage their lives, now and in the future. Our PSHE curriculum will help children and young people to stay healthy and safe, while preparing them to make the most of life and work. Pupils are inspired to be independent in their thoughts whilst also being supportive and respectful of others ideas and beliefs. Tolerance and acceptance of difference will be thread through all lessons to harbour a safe environment for pupils to share their thoughts whilst planning and preparing for life outside of school. PSHE helps pupils to understand their responsibilities as a person and as a British citizen and how to live a healthy life including understanding of their own bodies, relationships with others and how to keep themselves safe.
