The PSHCE (Personal, Social, Health, Citizenship and Economic education) is essential to the learning and development of a pupil, equipping them with knowledge and skills for life within school and beyond! Here at Bankfield we feel it is important that all students at Key Stage 3 (years 7-9) receive one hour of PSHCE lessons per week and one hour at Key Stage 4. This represents a commitment by the school to support and enhance pupils learning through a pastoral curriculum, ensuring Every Child Matters is embedded within every section of the school.
Meet the Department
Mrs Yvonne Guy (Head of Department)
The PSHCE curriculum at The Bankfield School is delivered by all Form Tutors once a week for one hour.
The aims of the course are:
To build self- esteem and promote a feeling of self worth, encourage students to develop their own life style, respect others, develop close relationships with family and others, develop cross-curricular and transferable skills for their role within society as adults and understand the responsibilities of such roles.
