For all students attitude to learning only is reported, as there are no levelled assessments. Form Tutors will provide personalised feedback at regular intervals throughout the year to guide the students’ progress and address any misconceptions during PSHE lessons.

Personal Social Health Education
Personal Social Health Education (PSHE) is taught in Form Groups by Form Tutors and is led by Miss K Ward.
PSHE is Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education. We have combined our PSHE programme of study with Citizenship Education. We believe that the successful education of the whole child is vitally important. This part of the curriculum is delivered to all year groups within the context of PSHE lessons by Form Tutors. Citizenship, SEAL, Careers and Enterprise is also delivered through PSHE with topics in Years 7-11. Religious Education is taught within PSHE for year 10 with a series of Enrichment Days
The aim of PSHE is to teach rights, respect and responsibility to all of our students. We hope that the teaching of a variety of topics encourages these character traits in our students to prepare them to become good adult citizens within British society. We aim to be a ‘Health Promoting School’ and give all our students opportunity to develop their understanding of the three core PSHE themes: Health and Wellbeing, Relationships and Living in the Wider World. Throughout the wider curriculum and the school community, we actively promote the general ethos of British values and the development of SMSC intelligence for our students.
