PSHE
Our PSHCE curriculum is guided by the PHSCE Association to support our students to learn about key topics in an age appropriate way.
Our PSHCE curriculum includes a number of lessons, as well as assemblies and sessions with external providers when appropriate.
RSE (Relationships and Sex Education) is a statutory part of the curriculum. Our age-appropriate topics are carefully sequenced and developed progressively across the five years. Before we begin teaching relationships and sex education, we will inform you in advance and provide further details about the content. We will also let you know who to contact should you have any questions.
