PSHE is taught for 45 minutes a week to students in Y7 - Y11. There is no formal GCSE assessment for PSHE at Worksop. The curriculum combines Citizenship, Personal, Social and Health Education. Lessons provides a safe place to explore really difficult questions. The content taught in each lesson can be simultaneously linked to current affairs, students’ immediate experiences and also more established and longstanding philosophies and ways of thinking.
PSHE lessons are all about facilitating questioning. We want students in our classes to ask themselves: What do I think? Why do I think that? What do others think? How can what we think affect behaviour?
Communication is absolutely key to PSHE lessons. Our aim is to encourage students to develop their oral and written literacy, to improve their listening and responding skills and to regularly develop their own point of view and refer to others.
Why should students study PSHE?
PSHE helps pupils to develop the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to thrive as individuals, family members and members of society. From making responsible decisions about alcohol to succeeding in their first job PSHE helps pupils to manage many of the most critical opportunities, challenges and responsibilities they will face growing up.
It gives students the time to be thoughtful, reflective, engaged and able to achieve their full potential. PSHE lessons enable them to review and consider their own beliefs and those of others. We consider their perspectives on life, interest in and respect for different people's feelings and values. They will use a wide range of skills in different contexts including working and socialising with students from different backgrounds with different beliefs. PSHE helps students to become responsible citizens who make positive contributions to society.
The PSHE curriculum in KS3 and KS4 cover 4 core themes:
- Health and well-being
- Wider World
- Relationships (including RSE)
- Religious beliefs
RSE (Relationship and Sex Education)
