PSHE

Overview

PSHEE (Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education) is a highly valued subject at St. Marylebone C.E School. The subject’s ethos, in line with the school’s overall philosophy, is to enable students to explore a broad range of issues in an age-appropriate, informative and reflective manner in order to prepare them for adult life as confident young people and critical thinkers who are able to make considered and informed decisions; lead healthy and happy lives; and contribute in an active and positive way to society. 

Pupils are, for the most part, taught PSHEE in form groups and lessons are delivered by the form tutor. This implementation ensures that pupils feel comfortable to discuss sensitive topics, and tutors are available to provide any additional support needed. The PSHEE curriculum is also supported by some drop-down days throughout the year and some topics are taught within other subjects by specialists, for example Puberty is taught within both the PSHE and Science curriculum, Internet Safety in Computing, Healthy Eating in Food Technology and concepts such as tolerance within REP.  On a small handful of occasions, carefully selected external agencies (e.g. Daniel Spargo Mabbs Foundation, LAWRS)  are invited into school to support St. Marylebone teaching staff with the delivery of PSHEE.  PSHE is also embedded in a whole-school approach through assemblies, themes of the week and national events such as Healthy Eating Week and Anti-Bullying events. 

The PSHE department works closely with the Pastoral Team which enables us to ensure the curriculum is flexible and adaptable to the needs of each individual cohort. This personalised approach allows your child to explore age-appropriate issues at the most pertinent time and is a real strength of our provision. This also ensures that vulnerable children, and students with SEND are fully supported. 

In September 2020 RSHE (Relationships, Sex and Health Education) was made statutory.  This is taught within the PSHE curriculum, although some topics are also delivered in other subjects e.g. the Key Stage Four Science curriculum.  More information about Relationships and Sex Education can be found in the policy document. 

PSHE lessons are broadly organised into three main topics:

  • Health and Wellbeing 
  • Relationships and Sex Education 
  • Living in the Wider World 

Due to the nature of the subject, many lessons will encompass all of these areas. For example a session on Internet Safety whilst classified under ‘Living in the Wider World’ will naturally also include learning about relationships and wellbeing. 

Our current curriculum plan is below. However,  due to the ever changing nature of the subject and our commitment to a flexible curriculum this is an adaptable programme. Many topics are revisited but to a greater depth and within a different context as your child makes their way through the school.
