Why is PSHE important?
Our PSHE curriculum enables our pupils to develop the knowledge, understanding, skills and attitudes they need to live confident, safe, healthy, independent lives. It prepares them for the opportunities, experiences, responsibilities, and challenges of life as individuals, citizens, workers, and parents.

PSHE has the power to enhance the health and emotional wellbeing of all children, their families, and the whole school community. It promotes pupils spiritual, moral, cultural, mental, emotional, and physical development yet also introduces them to a wider world. PSHE enables individuals to make an active contribution to their communities therefore promoting community cohesion.
