PSHE is focused on the personal, social, health and economic aspects of education. The lessons are designed for students to engage in topics that will help them navigate their own lives now and in the future. PSHE education gives students the knowledge, skills, and attributes they need to keep themselves healthy and safe and to prepare them for life and work in modern Britain. PSHE education helps students to manage many of the most critical opportunities, challenges and responsibilities they will face growing up.
PSHE education also helps students to develop skills and aptitudes – like teamwork, communication, and resilience – that are crucial to navigating the challenges and opportunities of the modern world, and are increasingly valued by employers.
