PSHE
PSHE stands for Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education.
At St Joseph’s, we understand the importance of preparing our young people for life and work in modern Britain, and do this through the fortnightly delivery of PSHE.
Since September 2023, PSHE is delivered in classes by teachers with experience of delivering the subject, rather than tutor groups. This change reflects the growing importance of PSHE for all young people and also pupil voice at St Joseph’s, which felt that PSHE should be a lesson rather than an extended tutor period. The views of all stakeholders will be taken into account throughout 2024 as we continue to develop the subject.
Within PSHE, each year group covers specific modules, designed to ensure coverage of Healthy Lifestyles; Living in Our Wider World which includes Careers Education Information Advice and Guidance; and British Values. Many aspects complement learning that takes place in RSHE lessons within RE.
