At Summer Fields PSHEE enables our pupils to relate well to others, to understand themselves, to make a positive contribution in school, and to be increasingly active citizens.

Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHEE) provides a vital foundation for the personal development of pupils in preparing them for adult life. It is important in combating the social exclusion and disaffection of any pupil, whilst equipping them with the skills and attitudes needed to react positively to the pressures of modern life.

It helps our pupils

• Develop a healthy, safer lifestyle
• Develop confidence and responsibility and make the most of their abilities
• Develop good relationships and respect the differences between people
• Focus on mental health and well-being as a priority for their happiness.

Through PSHEE we provide pupils with accurate and relevant knowledge, opportunities to turn that knowledge into personal understanding through exploring, clarifying and, if necessary, challenge their own and others’ values, attitudes, beliefs, rights and responsibilities.

They are equipped with the skills and strategies they need in order to live healthy, safe, fulfilling, responsible and balanced lives.
