PSHEE
Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education
This programme aims to:
- provide a moral and ethical framework within which a student can develop and express their beliefs, views and values
- listen to and respect alternative points of view, thereby increasing students’ understanding of those around them.
- provide additional opportunities, beyond the formal curriculum, that encourage students to become independent, self-supporting, and active members of the wider community
In the Sixth Form PSHEE is delivered in the following ways:
- Form Times: discussions on all aspects of Sixth Form pastoral care
- Outside speakers
- In-house speakers: student-led assemblies
- Former students: talks on careers, gap years, charities etc.
- Off curriculum PSHEE events: study skills, driving safety.
- Off-site events: eg Higher Education and Apprenticeships Fair in Year 12
- Active citizenship: many students contribute to the wider school community by becoming a House Captain or a Senior Prefect, undertaking paired reading or peer mentoring, or engaging in fundraising activities. Others complete work experience at local schools, hospitals or care homes for the elderly.
- Co-curricular: Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, Dragon's Enterprise Challenge, Debating, Interact (charity fundraising), Model United Nations (MUN)
- Social events: theatre trips, Live Lounge, Sixth Form barbecues, Leavers Ball, etc.
