Learning for Life

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:

  1. Health and Wellbeing
  2. Relationships
  3. Living in the Wider World

The programme is designed to meet the needs of our students and fulfil the OfE Statutory Guidance for Relationships and Sex Education and Health Education. Our curriculum is based around enquiry questions and topics which feed into them
