PSHE (Personal, Social, Health & Economic Education) is taught once a week during a 45 minute lesson to each tutor group and delivered by their tutors. PSHE education helps children and young people to identify, celebrate and manage the many personal, economic and social challenges they face, while they are at school, and in the future. Through PSHE education children and young people acquire and extend the knowledge and skills they need as they (and their communities) grow and change, so that they can be safe, healthy and economically secure.
Students raised money for this initiative during Black History Month.
