PSHE

Why is PSHE important?

PSHE teaches us how to make informed choices and be enterprising and ambitious. Through PSHE education, we focus on achieving our potential by supporting our wellbeing and tackling issues that can affect our ability to learn, such as anxiety and unhealthy relationships. In PSHE, we learn the importance of a healthy lifestyle and positive relationships.
