Personal, Social, Health Education is integral to our school. " Pupils are well-prepared for the next stages of learning and life. They learn to keep themselves and others safe in personal, social, health and economic education lessons. They experience the rich diversity of the world through the books they share", OFSTED June 2024. 

Our PSHE Curriculum lead is Mrs Peach. Our PSHE policy can be read on the link below.
