PSHE
The purpose of the PSHE curriculum is to provide knowledge and understanding of safe and and healthy relationships based on respect. This is to encourage the development of safe and healthy relationships throughout life. The subject is designed to help children from all backgrounds build positive and safe relationships and to thrive in modern Britain.
Although we use a whole School approach with regards to the delivery of our Spiral curriculum, pupils in Key stage 3 will have an opportunity to explore the content in each unit. Pupils will gain a more in depth understanding of the units as they progress through the years, with a specific insight into the following content.

Term 1 - Being Me In My World
In term 1 students explore the topic of 'being me in my world'. This enables students to learn about managing the risks of online and offline behaviour, alongside how to be safe online. Social media can have a profound impact on young people in today's society and students will be learning how this can impact their lives both positively and negatively.
Please see a sample below of some of the content covered in the topic of 'being me in my world'. You will see copies of sample lessons plans below:
