What is PSHE education
Personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education is a planned programme of learning opportunities and experiences that help students to grow and develop as individuals and as members of families and of social and economic communities. It provides the knowledge, skills and attributes students need to lead healthy, safe, responsible and fulfilled lives. Students learn about businesses and different types of work, how to manage money and budget.
Why is PSHE education important to our students?
PSHE education equips students with knowledge, understanding, attitudes and practical skills to live healthy, safe, productive, fulfilled, capable and responsible lives. It encourages them to be enterprising and supports them in making effective transitions, positive learning and career choices and in managing their finances effectively. PSHE education also enables children and young people to reflect on and clarify their own values and attitudes, and explore the complex and sometimes conflicting range of values and attitudes they encounter now and in the future.
Why is PSHE education provision important to the college?

• |
