RSHE Curriculum

Year 7 & 8

We will be teaching the legally required RSHE curriculum alongside the Knowledge Curriculum this year. This will appear as ‘Knowledge’ on your son/daughter’s timetable in September. Your son/ daughter will receive one hour of a PSHE combined with the legally required RSHE curriculum and one hour of Knowledge every two weeks.

PSHE is a very important part of a student’s education, teaching them incredibly important information that is not fully covered within other subjects of the National Curriculum.

See the long-term plan of topics to be taught across all year groups. We will be using thematic government approved plans from the PSHE association, to form the basis of our teaching.
