KS3 Subject Intent
The intention of PSHE at KS3 is to provide all students with a broad spectrum of all the topics that the Government has outlined. Students study a spiral curriculum and each term’s lesson will focus on either living in the Wider World, Health and Wellbeing and RSE. Students as they progress through the keystage will develop a more critical view of these with a key focus on how these topics affect themselves, others and the wider community. The intent of this key stage is to develop students into aspirational, well-rounded individuals.
KS4 Subject Intent
The intention of PSHE at KS4 is to build upon the wide range of topics that they have looked at in KS3 by going into more depth in certain circumstances and in a more age appropriate way in others. Students as they progress through the keystage will use critical thinking to formulate their own, educated view of the world and the way they interact with it. Their cultural literacy will enhance throughout the key stage so by the end of it they are exposed to a world that they are well-prepared for rather than being daunted by it.
