The vision for the PSHE department is to enable our pupils to make informed decisions about their lives and to develop the skills they need to navigate the challenges and opportunities they will face in the future.
The PSHE department also plays an important role in promoting the spiritual, moral, social, and cultural development of students. This involves creating a safe and supportive learning environment where students feel valued, respected, and encouraged to express their opinions and ideas.
