Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHE) aims to enrich pupils’ understanding of how to develop themselves, work on their relationships with others inside and outside of school, drugs, alcohol, tobacco; emotional and mental health and wellbeing; nutrition and physical activity; personal finance; safety inside and outside the home, relationships and sex education; work related learning and enterprise.

Citizenship and FBV aims to develop student understanding of the modern British democratic system and their roles and responsibilities within society.

Curriculum

The PSHEE, Citizenship and Careers curriculum are delivered through the following methods:

• Weekly PSHE lessons during form time
• Whole school enrichment days
• Workshops and events in school
• Cross curricular through subjects, particularly within Science, RE, PE, Drama, Geography, History and IT.

We use active methods of learning, engaging our students enabling them to develop their confidence and resilience independently that will result in lifelong learning experiences.

We work extensively with external services including guest speakers and professional health practitioners, voluntary workers and the Metropolitan Police.

Apart from delivering our PSHEE and Citizenship curriculum, we also deliver Mindfulness, Circle time, Girls on Board and Mentors in Violence Prevention programmes to develop our students social, emotional and mental wellbeing.

PSHE and citizenship are assessed using a variety of different methods with progress recorded and reported to parents.  We value our pupil’s feedback so that we can improve and amend the way in which these areas are delivered.
