CLAVERING CURRICULUM FOR PSHEE
PSHEE is an acronym for Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education.
For more information, please contact Mr McAvoy (Deputy Headteacher), Mr Savage (The Arts, PE & PSHEE Leader) and/or your child's/children's teacher(s).
Introduction
- A high-quality PSHE education gives pupils the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to thrive as individuals, family members and members of society; to keep themselves healthy and safe; to prepare them for life and work in modern society; and to manage their lives, now and in the future.
- When taught effectively, PSHEE helps pupils to achieve their academic potential and leave school equipped with skills they will need throughout later life. It should enable pupils to manage many of the most critical opportunities, challenges and responsibilities they will face growing up.
- As outlined in the National Curriculum, all schools are expected to teach PSHEE, drawing on good practice. PSHEE is a non-statutory subject, but schools are expected to use their PSHEE programme to equip pupils with a sound understanding of risk and with the knowledge and skills necessary to make safe and informed decisions. Although PSHEE is non-statutory, part of our PSHEE Curriculum includes the statutory Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) and the statutory Health Education.
