PSHE
Why is PSHE important?
PSHE is essential in helping our pupils to develop the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to thrive as individuals, family members and members of society. It helps children and young people to achieve their potential by supporting their wellbeing and tackling issues that can affect their ability to learn, such as anxiety and unhealthy relationships. PSHE education also helps pupils to develop skills and aptitudes — like teamwork, communication, and resilience — that are crucial to navigating the challenges and opportunities of the modern world, and are increasingly valued by employers. From making responsible decisions about their health and life choices to succeeding in their first job, PSHE education helps pupils to manage many of the most critical opportunities, challenges and responsibilities they will face growing up.

- Teacher
