PSHE: Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education

Our Vision for PSHE

Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education is a school subject which helps students develop the knowledge, skills and attributes to stay healthy and safe now and prepare for their futures. At The Compton school we believe that good PSHE education also helps students to achieve their academic potential.

Our intent is to provide and academic PSHE curriculum that provides opportunities for students to reflect on and clarify their own values and attitudes and explore complex and sometimes conflicting range of values and attitudes they encounter now and in the future.

Our PSHE curriculum focusses on three core themes:

  • Health and wellbeing
  • Relationships
  • Living in the wider world

Our PSHE curriculum aims to enable students to become healthy, safe, independent, responsible members of society who demonstrate respect and tolerance and who are prepared to face and manage the challenges and opportunities of an ever-changing modern Britain.

Preventative PSHE education helps students to know how they can support each other, manage their own behaviour and get help for themselves or their friends when they need it, therefore supporting positive behaviour and attitudes.
