PSHE - KS5

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 5, PSHE offers students the opportunity to prepare themselves for adult life. Students learn a broad range of topics in relation to emotional wellbeing, financial literacy, healthy relationships, stereotypes and discrimination and how to live independently after college. 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 topics such as apprenticeships, university life and performing in a digital world. 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.
