Careers Guidance (CEIAG)

Personal, Social & Health Education

PSHE is an essential part of the curriculum and helps students cope with the decisions and challenges facing them as they approach adulthood.

Our main aim is to prepare and motivate our students for the choices affecting their future education, training, career and life as a responsible member of society.

The lessons will focus on four main areas:

  • Personal well being
  • Economic well being
  • Financial capability
  • Citizenship

The lessons help students become:

  • Successful learners who enjoy learning, make progress and achieve.
  • Confident individuals who are able to live safe, healthy and fulfilling lives.
  • Responsible citizens who make a positive contribution to society.

PSHE lessons will help to develop an understanding in the following areas:

  • Personal skills and qualities needed to make the most of talents.
  • How to learn in a way that suits the student therefore improving success.
  • Developing opinions and respecting those of others.
  • Respect for the differences between people.
  • Good relationships.
  • A healthy, safe lifestyle.
  • Checking Progress, Target Setting and Action Planning to help progress in lessons and in personal life.
  • Careers Education.
  • Drugs Education.
  • Citizenship.
  • Personal and social development (eg friendships, relationships, bullying, co-operation).
  • Community and environmental issues.

PSHE is delivered as part of Life Skills by a team of specialist staff as part of the school curriculum. Key Stage 3 students have 2 hours per fortnight; Key Stage 4 students have 1 hour per fortnight. At Key Stage 5, Year 12 have 2 hours a fortnight; Year 13 have 1 hour per fortnight.

CEIAG and Enterprise

Careers education, information, advice and guidance is an essential part of every pupil's curriculum and is also delivered as part of Life Skills. It is an integral part of the preparation for, and motivation of, pupils for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of life. Our central concern is to prepare pupils for the choices, changes and transitions affecting their future education, training, career and life as an adult member of society and to raise achievement throughout.
