The Curriculum
Years 7 and 8
During Year 7 and Year 8 PSHE is delivered through our PSHE Enrichment Days, as well as through the tutor programme and key curriculum areas. These collapsed timetable days provide opportunities for young people to spend extended amounts of time focussing on a subject or theme. There are four PSHE Enrichment Days delivered in each year.
The PSHE Enrichment Days provide excellent opportunities to work with external professionals and staff to explore important personal development themes. The current PSHE Enrichment Day programme includes:
Year 7
E-Safety, Health, Environmental Awareness, Healthy Relationships
Year 8
