Department Vision

Personal, social, health, citizenship and economics education is one of the most important subjects within the school as it teaches lessons for life and the values that students need to be successful in modern Britain and as global citizens. It also teaches students about important safeguarding issues and legal information in order to help our students navigate the complexities of life in the 21st Century. We believe that there is no monopoly on life wisdom which is why all our form tutors participate in the delivery of this subject. We also believe that many of the subjects are best delivered by the pastoral teachers who know our students best.
