Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) with Citizenship
PSHE and Citizenship are taught throughout the four year groups in this school. We place a high value on the contribution they can make towards a student’s development.
PSHE examines issues such as friendships, bullying, respecting others, substance abuse and sex education.
Citizenship provides an introduction to how our local and national government works, community issues, environmental matters and how the law operates, etc.
During the year guest speakers are invited in and various events are held to highlight particular components of the programmes of study.
The School Council, which comprises of one elected representative from each form, meets regularly to discuss items which have been raised by other members of the school community. Decisions reached here have led to improvements being made to student welfare and the school environment.
Peer Counselling has been developed as an additional way of providing help and support to the school community. Specially trained Year 8 students in distinctive red sweatshirts provide a “listening ear” for anyone experiencing problems, e.g. friendship difficulties, bullying, etc. They are of particular assistance to Year 5 as they settle into Oldfields Hall.
