PERSONAL, SOCIAL, HEALTH & CITIZENSHIP EDUCATION (PSHCE)
Personal, Social, Health & Citizenship Education is an integral feature of the school curriculum, with aspects of each main topic, careers, health, economic awareness, safety, citizenship, environmental and community issues, featuring across many subject areas. Throughout the PSHCE course, all learners will have the opportunity to gain Wider Key Skills qualifications. These are three qualifications based on skills required for the workplace or for further study: ‘improving own learning and performance’, ‘working with others’ and ‘problem solving’. These qualifications encourage independent learning and are equivalent to GCSE standard and are accepted by colleges. Pupils will also follow a First Aid course; this leads to a First Aid Certificate which can be used when applying for jobs in the future.
Connexions (formerly the Careers Service), police, youth service office and health professionals are invited to work with the learners and provide direct information and advice as appropriate to the planned programme of modular courses.
In accordance with national curriculum guidelines and subject to the approval of the governing body of the school, sex and relationships education is taught as an essential feature of the modules, focusing on personal relationships and healthy lifestyles.
Respect of self and others is an inherent theme of these units of work.
Citizenship is an integral focus of the course, as well as across the curriculum. This will encourage all learners to understand and recognise their roles and responsibilities as members of local, national and global communities.
A key part of PSHCE are the Stop the Clock day events where learners have the opportunity to spend the whole day working on a theme from PSHCE with outside speakers.
