PSHE

At SJB, our PSHE program strives to treat students as unique individuals, fostering their abilitity to become content, secure, and accomplished members of society.

Our goal is to create citizens who will live their lives embracing our school values of Respect, Aspire, Integrity, Love and Service.

Every week all students have one period of PSHE that is delivered by their Form Tutor. This provides a comfortable and open environment for students to explore the important and sometimes challenging topics covered within the curriculum. Our curriculum is built around six key themes:

  • Mental and emotional health
  • Relationships
  • Physical and sexual health
  • Citizenship
  • Careers
  • Economics, finance and e-safety

In Key stage 3, PSHE will equip students with the skills and opportunities to understand the foundations of positive and thriving relationships within their local communities. Pupils will investigate the essential principles of British values, to understand their own rights while recognising their obligation to uphold the rights of others. Additionally, in accordance with statutory guidance (informed by the DfE) the curriculum includes topics on relationships and sexual education, taught in conjunction with the core gospel values of love, respect, and dignity for all.

Our career guidance is integrated into PSHE, allowing students to explore diverse career paths and prospects while contemplating their personal aspirations.

Furthermore, students will be encouraged to stay informed about current events, enabling them to express well-informed perspectives and contribute significantly to discussions concerning social, economic, and political matters.
