Our Personal, Social and Health care (PSHE) and Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) curriculum

At Brigshaw High School, our mission is to provide a transformative cradle to career education that allows our children to enjoy lives of choice and opportunity.Intent

Intent

At Brigshaw, we create healthy, independent and responsible members of society by fostering a love and enjoyment of Personal, Social and Health care.

Implementation

PSHE is taught by a dedicated team of staff PSHE and follows a centralised scheme of work so that students understand how they develop both personally and socially.

The scheme looks at social, moral and cultural issues that affect young people both in and out of the area they live in so that children are aware of the wider community and can become respectable citizens.

Students are given opportunities for them to understand their rights and responsibilities and appreciate what it means to be a member of a diverse society.

We develop our student’s tolerance towards others and enable them to stay safe in society so that they can become individuals with respect and understanding.

There is dedicated time each fortnight (1 hour per fortnight) for PSHE lessons across school. In addition to this key strands of our PSHE curriculum are explored in whole school assemblies, which are used as part of the provision for high quality PSHE.

We believe that PSHE provides an opportunity to deepen and develop the understanding of British Values as we encourage our student's to be creative, unique, open-minded and independent individuals, respectful of themselves and of others in our school, our local community and the wider world.
