At King’s we place our ASPIRE values at the heart of everything we do. This Learning Cycle
we will focus on our value of SELF AWARENESS.
We will discuss what it means to be self aware with our actions, motives and beliefs. We will
relate this to our strengths and weaknesses alongside looking at how the outside world functions
in comparison to our world. We will encourage students to be self aware about their
feelings and mental health. We will also look at pressures and how to be aware of influence.
Every year group has a lesson a week in Character – here we look at Personal, Social, Moral
and Economic (PSHE) areas. For example, the topics covered this Learning Cycle include;
Year 7 – Being self aware of how I can be influenced; Understanding different faiths and radicalisation.
Online safety and fake news.
Year 8 – Being self aware of the impact of my choices; The rule of law and risky behaviours.
Year 9 – Being self aware of my mental health; knowing and understanding who I am, gender
stereotypes, looking after my health/thoughts and resilience.
Year 10 – Being self aware of my wellbeing; sexual health and intimacy, anxiety and stress.
Year 11 – Being self aware of my overall health; cancer, NHS services, drugs and legal highs.
