PSHE - Trinity Term
PSHE gives pupils knowledge, understanding and practical skills to help them live safe, healthy, productive lives as active members of society. Pupils at Princethorpe have PSHE lessons each fortnight and also a vertical tutor time session each week. Each year group also has a full PSHE Immersion Day during the academic year.
There are three main strands to our PSHE programme – Health & Wellbeing, Living in the Wider World, and Relationships. These strands are taught through a wide-ranging series of lessons from the PSHE Association, the national body for PSHE teaching, which follows the statutory guidance from DfE. The lessons take place in a safe and age-appropriate learning environment, using discussion tasks and scenarios to allow the pupils the chance to consider the options and risks of different situations. Pupils also have opportunities to ask questions and are given options for further support if required.
Over the next few weeks, all pupils in Years 7-10 will be looking at relationships. These lessons will include looking at consent, understanding what it is from a legal and ethical standpoint and how to challenge assumptions. Older pupils will also look at pressure and coercion. Pupils in Year 11 will be looking at study skills and revision as they prepare for their summer exams.
