Years 10 & 11 Curriculum - Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHE)

All students have a one-hour Personal, Social and Health Education lesson per fortnight.

 

PSHE is non-examined, but a behaviour and effort score will be reported on.

 

We follow a scheme of work called Jigsaw PSHE.  This is a whole-school approach to PSHE, health and wellbeing.  Jigsaw is a unique, spiral, progressive and effective scheme of work, aiming to prepare children/young people for life, helping them really know and value who they are and understand how they relate to other people in this ever-changing world.

 

Woven throughout the PSHE units below, there will be specific and direct links made to religious attitudes on a variety of topics and concepts.  Religious traditions in Great Britain are in the main Christian and so we focus on these attitudes while also taking account of the teachings and practices of the other principal religions in Great Britain, namely Buddhism.

 

There are 6 units of work that we look at in all years and these include:

  1. Being Me In My World
  2. Celebrating Difference
  3. Dreams and Goals
  4. Healthy Me
  5. Relationships
  6. Changing me
