How it is planned
PSHE and assemblies work together
PSHE lessons follow sequenced half-term units so young people build knowledge in a clear order: first personal safety, choices and wellbeing, then relationships, independence and preparing for adult life.
Wednesday assemblies give a shared weekly focus across the school, linking British values, national awareness days and local themes to the same personal development offer.
Life skills
Practical skills for independence
Personal development includes the skills of adult life: cooking, teamwork, responsibility and pride in a finished task.
These moments sit beside PSHE, careers and enrichment so young people leave more confident in class and beyond school.
Awards and leadership
Challenges that build character
From Duke of Edinburgh presentations to leadership awards, young people take on real challenges with staff beside them.
These programmes sit alongside PSHE, sport and enrichment so confidence grows in class and beyond school.
