Personal, Social and Health Education at Stringer
"The Pupils' Personal, Social and Health Education is very good. The school is committed fully to providing every pupil with the opportunity to take part in this well organised and well-taught programme." Ofsted 2001
The Personal, Social and Health Education programme is an integral part of the school's official and unofficial (hidden) curriculum and is organised in the following way:
- As a discrete subject.
- As a part of the pastoral system.
- As part of a developing cross-curricular programme.
This obviously allows all staff to be involved in PSHE but the main contribution is made by the PSHE department.
An integral part of the PSHE programme is Careers Education and Guidelines. We consider this to be part of and not separate from our PSHE programme. Sex and relationship education, drug education, citizenship and the progress file are also essential elements of the school's PSHE programme. Detailed information can be found in the appropriate policy documents as well as further on in this handbook.
Our PSHE programme is based upon themes that run throughout all years:
- Self awareness and esteem
- Sex & Relationship Education
- Drugs Education
- Citizenship
- Environmental Education
- Careers Guidance
- Emergency Aid
