Personal & Social Education

Personal and Social Education addresses the five outcomes of the Every Child Matters agenda and achieves and maintains Healthy School status.

PSE educates our students on a range of topics at KS4.  The aim of the subject is for students to learn and cover topics related to personal, social and health education. Throughout all lessons students are encouraged to apply their knowledge and understanding in making decisions, promote self-development through encouraging students to be aware of their own strengths and areas for improvement. All students have the opportunity to achieve a GCSE equivalent in PSE accredited by the AQA exam board.

Students in all year groups are taught PSE every other Monday. To enhance learning guest speakers are also involved e.g. Talk on Teenage Cancer,  Islamophobia and Sexual health for example.

Students are also learning about LORIC (Leadership, Organisation, Resilience, Initiative and Communication). These lessons take place in form groups on non-CPD Monday afternoons.

Enrichment

All students have the opportunity to develop their LORIC skills in and out of school. Their extra-curricular activities can earn them LORIC certificates and badges.
