PSHCE – Personal, Social, Health and Citizenship Education
This is a key part of the curriculum. Students are generally taught in their tutor groups, by their
Form Tutor, though Heads of Years may vary the programme to facilitate visiting speakers or utilise
staff expertise to best effect. The main focus of the programme is to offer support and opportunities
to students in developing as personally and socially effective individuals. Career pathways, study
skills, personal and social development, and citizenship are core facets, and these develop as the
students progress through the College, addressing the issues most relevant to their age.
Tutor Groups
Each student will be placed in a Tutor Group for the academic year. Every morning the student
will meet their Form Tutor in their Form Room at which time attendance will be taken and the daily
bulletin will be read out. The Form Room will act as a base for the students as it will usually be the
teaching room of their Form Tutor. Their daily meeting time will allow them to speak to their Form
Tutor about any issues, academic or otherwise, that may concern them. Their Form Tutor will also
meet with them once a week on a Wednesday morning to deliver the PSHCE Programme.
