Personal, Social, Health and Citizenship Education

We believe that all our children should acquire the knowledge and skills they need to lead happy, healthy, confident and independent lives. We aim to help our children to become active responsible citizens who are able to form positive relationships throughout their lives.

Our children are given many opportunities through assemblies, school and class councils, school residential trips and focused lessons to acquire and develop these skills. We have an excellent buddy system operating within the school that helps our younger children whilst teaching responsibility and relationship skills to our older pupils.

We have close links with the Police, Fire Brigade, St John’s Ambulance and various health agencies (dental, drug, alcohol, tobacco) who support us in teaching PSHE.

We are a healthy school and are successful in promoting the health of our young people. This was acknowledged when we were awarded “Enhanced Healthy Schools Status” in 2008.
