Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education
It's more than just a curriculum.
PSHE stands for personal, social, health, and economic - which are the broad areas that this important subject covers. PSHE education deals with the real life issues that young people will experience as they grow up, and helps to prepare them for living in the modern world.
PSHE is about fostering a school culture in which children are able to flourish. It's a commitment to developing the whole child by equipping them with the knowledge, skills, and understanding needed in order to look after their well-being, make informed decisions, and enjoy positive relationships. PSHE education provides young people with a solid foundation upon which they can thrive - both now and throughout their lives.
