PSHCE

Learning PSHCE helps all pupils develop as individuals in a wider society. Pupils learn to understand themselves physically, emotionally and socially and to understand their relationships with others.

The aim is to develop within each pupil to the best of their abilities the knowledge, concepts, skills, attitudes, moral values and self-esteem to meet their present and future needs.

There are specific aims for each of the elements within the PSHCE curriculum:

1. To develop in pupils the knowledge skills and understanding necessary to achieve maximum independence in LIFESKILLS including personal self-care, domestic skills and community independence.

2. To develop in pupils the knowledge skills and understanding necessary to live HEALTHY LIFESTYLE including diet hygiene keeping safe and sex and drug education.

3. To develop in pupils the knowledge, skills and understanding necessary to enable them to achieve LIFELONG LIVING SKILLS including careers and vocational education, work experience, leisure and planning for transition into adult life.

4. To develop in pupils the experience of SOCIAL INTERACTION with other individuals, including adults, in a variety of situations. Through taking on the roles and responsibilities within the school environment the pupils will hopefully learn appropriate behaviours and move from a personal view of themselves and their immediate world towards a much wider perspective.
