Personal, Social, Health and Citizenship Education Aims and Objectives 1. To prepare you for life after school in a time of increasingly accelerating social, moral and economic change. 2. To help you develop a greater sense of understanding and empathy towards other people in the school. 3. To assist you in developing awareness of your responsibility to yourself, others and the school. 4. To encourage you to examine and evaluate your attitude towards important social issues. 5. To foster a greater sense of security, co-operation and achievement at school. 6. To help foster the Christian ethos of the school. 7. To help you explore your own performance, feelings and attitudes and values; thereby fostering the development of a positive self-image amongst the students of the school. 8. To work towards the improvement of each students’ academic performance throughout all areas of the curriculum. 9. To increase awareness of issues on the world-wide stage and promote a caring and sympathetic approach to the plight of others less fortunate than the members of this school. What you will study: All students in Years 7, 8 and 9 follow a Personal, Social, Health and Citizenship Education Programme, which is taught through the fortnightly PSHCE lesson. Teaching approaches: For the formal PSHCE lesson (one per fortnight) you will be taught in tutor groups. There will be plenty of opportunities for whole class discussion and also small group discussions. You will be involved in role-play exercises, working in small groups to produce display and poster work. Sometimes there will be visiting speakers who will come to talk to the year group or to form groups on specialist topics, for example, Road safety, Relationships, Alcohol and Drugs Education. 103
