PSHE and RSE education 

We promote personal wellbeing and development through our personal, social, health and economics (PSHE) programme. Relationships and sex education (RSE) is interlinked within the same curriculum and follows Government guidance. PSHE is delivered as a timetabled subject within Key Stage 3 (Years 7 to 9), and within dedicated PSHE time during tutor time in Key Stage 4 (Years 10 and 11).

There are three set units; Independence & Aspirations; Autonomy & Advocacy; Choices & Influences, ensuring that students can build on prior knowledge throughout each Key Stage.
