PSHE
Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education
PSHE education gives pupils the knowledge, skills, and attributes they need to keep themselves healthy and safe and to prepare them for life and work in modern Britain. From making responsible decisions about alcohol to succeeding in their first job interview, PSHE education helps pupils to manage many of the most critical opportunities, challenges and responsibilities they will face growing up.
Provision at Turves Green Boys
All pupils in Year 7 to 10 have one timetabled lesson a week. We also run flexible learning days for all students twice a year.
Programme of Study
In line with PSHE Association guidance this is delivered at Turves Green Boys’ School under five broad themes: Relationships, Health (including Mental Health), Safety, Life Beyond School and British Values.
PSHE is a non-assessed subject so students will not sit a GCSE exam in PSHE.
Relationships (including sex education)
Relationships and Sex Education is defined by the PSHE Association as ’learning about the emotional, social and physical aspects of growing up, relationships, sex,
human sexuality and sexual health’ and is in line with current regulations from the Department of Education (DfE) on Relationships Education, Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) and Health Education (July 2019). This content is delivered in an age appropriate way in our school with regard to the age and stage of pupils. The intention of Relationships and Sex Education in our school is to equip children and young people with the information, skills and values they need to have safe, fulfilling and enjoyable relationships and take responsibility for their physical ,sexual and emotional health and wellbeing.
