PSHE - KS4

PSHE aims to ensure that students are seen as individuals and develop skills which enable them to be happy, safe and successful leaders in today’s society. We aim to create citizens who live their lives based on gospel values such as mutual respect, dignity and who are able to communicate their feelings effectively to others in order to flourish.

Our PSHE provision is based on our whole school curriculum principles, inspired by Don Bosco:

• Promoting Gospel Values
• Inspiring Vocation
• Achieving Highly
• Generating Happiness
• Growing Knowledge and creating experiences

At Key Stage 4, PSHE builds upon the skills and knowledge developed at KS3 so that students explore the topics of economics and finance, mental wellbeing and healthy relationships in more depth and consider next steps after school with preparation for future careers. The curriculum also covers Relationships and Sex Education which is delivered in conjunction with the Chaplaincy team to provide an informative education inspired by core gospel values. Our careers provision is built into PSHE and, through these sessions, students will learn about both vocational and traditional subject choices at Key Stage 5, as well as post-18 options. Students also learn about current affairs, so that they are able to express well-founded opinions and make valuable contributions to social, economic and political debate.
