Curriculum

The aim is to ensure that students develop their personal, social, emotional, spiritual, moral and cultural understanding and have the opportunity to discuss and debate these issues in a safe space. Students focus on learning about and considering the life skills that are essential to life a happy and fulfilled life. Students are provided with a series of lessons dedicated to the holistic development of our children, so our students leave not only as high achieving academics, but also as reflective, self-aware, considerate and confident citizens.  This course is not externally examined but students sit assessments each term to check their understanding of the content they have studied. PSHE lessons covers statutory content as detailed in the Relationships Education, Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) and Health Education publications from department for Education as well as cover statutory educations relating to citizenship. Additionally, to this in year 10 students cover core Religious Education topics as directed in the Bexley Agreed Syllabus. Lessons include retrieval Do Now questions, and PE, PEE, and PEEL structures questions are used within lessons to mimic skills used in other subjects across the school.
