Vision/Intent
Grow
Our PSHCE curriculum aims to give our students the information they need to help them to develop healthy, nurturing relationships of all kinds. We will help our students to develop resilience and independence through building self-esteem. We will also encourage our students to grow personally and socially, to support them to tackle many of the moral, social and cultural issues so that they can successfully take their place in the communities where they live.
Learn
We aim for our students to recognise what a healthy relationship looks like and what makes a good friend, colleague or other type of committed relationship. Identify acceptable/unacceptable behaviours of an intimate relationship, contraception and how to stay safe. Understand the positive effects that a good relationship has on their mental wellbeing. We aim to prepare our students to become global citizens in a diverse society, preparing them for opportunities, responsibilities and experiences for later life.
Achieve
By the time our students are ready to leave we hope that they will be able to make informed decisions with regard to their own health and personal well-being. This will also include having regard for the wellbeing of others. We also want to ensure that they are successfully prepared to manage a transition to a post 16 provider or to reintegrate successfully back into a mainstream provision. We have a clear focus on achievement, not just in terms of academic success but also in the development of skills for life. We set high expectations for our students and provide appropriate qualifications and experiences to support their future success.
