Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) and Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural understanding (SMSC) enables children to become healthy, independent and responsible members of society. We encourage our pupils to play a positive role in contributing to the life of the school and the wider community. In so doing we help develop their sense of self worth. We teach them how society is organised and governed. We ensure that they experience the process of democracy in school through the school council. We teach them about rights and responsibilities. They learn to appreciate what it means to be a positive member of a diverse multicultural society.

Our Mission Statement is - 'Personal, social and health education (PSHE) and citizenship enables children to become healthy, independent and responsible members of society through the teaching of the three core themes.' The three core themes are: Health and Well Being, Relationships and Living in the wider world- Economic wellbeing and being a responsible citizen.
