PSHCE
(Personal, Social, Health, Citizenship and Economic Education)
PSHCE is an important element of our Pastoral Provision at The Ladies’ College. It proactively supports the development of the skills, attitudes, values and patterns of behaviour, which enable our students to:
- Respond positively to challenges as they occur
- Value themselves and others
- Form positive relationships and as a result be active citizens within the local community
- Make and act on informed decisions to support health and wellbeing
- Communicate effectively
- Appreciate British Values with regard to democracy, the rule of the law, individual liberty, respect and tolerance.
- Understand steps to take to achieve economic wellbeing
- Plan a pathway to their future career
The curriculum is designed to equip students with the tools they need to live happy, healthy and safe lives during their time at college and throughout their adult lives.
PSHCE at The Ladies’ College is underpinned by our values of integrity, bravery and kindness.
Our curriculum is based on recommendations from the PSHE Association, statutory UK RSE guidelines and the needs of our student. An outline is provided below.
Each year, girls will cover the following topics:
 Health and well-being |
 Relationships (RSE) |
 Living in the wider world |
