PSHE/RSE
Alongside academic growth we also develop students’ social, moral, spiritual, cultural and emotional understanding.
Our PSHE curriculum is designed to give students the knowledge and skills required to keep themselves healthy and safe, thrive as informed and contributing members of society, and live happy and fulfilled lives.
Our curriculum reflects six important areas: relationships, mental and physical health, government and politics, financial education, justice and the law. Through the study of these themes, we prepare students for challenges and opportunities in society.
