The aims of personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education in our school are to provide pupils the knowledge, understanding and skills they need to manage their lives now and in the future.
The PSHE programme of study supports the whole school vision and ethos.
At Chetwynde we aim:
- To build and sustain a friendly, tolerant and supportive community in which all its members are valued equally.
- To teach pupils to enjoy their education, to see it as a lifelong experience and to support them in making important career decisions.
- To pursue high personal, academic and social standards.
- To develop in our pupils’ personal qualities such as curiosity, concern, industry, reliability, honesty, creativity, enterprise, appreciation, confidence and respect.
- To develop an active and open relationship with parents.
- To encourage pupils to take full advantage of the opportunities on offer to them.
- To show a sense of responsibility towards the local and wider community, and to prepare pupils for the challenges and opportunities of adult life.
- To adhere to the school core values of Respect, Responsibility and Resilience.
