Curriculum Information
Personal Social Health and Economic (PSHE)
Subject rationale – Why study the subject? What benefits does it bring?
At Bishop Challoner Catholic College, we fundamentally believe that it is our duty to help our students become fully developed citizens who understand: how to make safe choices; what moral duty one has to society; how they can be active citizens; how to develop their careers, how to stay healthy and how to manage money. We also believe that Citizenship and Personal, Social, Health, Economic and Character education is of equal value to other academic subjects. By educating our students in these areas we can help create a better society filled with people who understand how their positive choices will help them and their society to flourish and keep them safe.
PSHE and Citizenship are taught in many different ways including through weekly lessons in year 7 and 8 as well as: assemblies; form time lessons; Personal Tutor sessions; health days; Character Week and through our pastoral systems. Mapping of PSHE and Citizenship also encompasses all other subjects because many of the statutory requirements overlap with other key curriculum areas for example healthy lifestyles is covered in PE and science as well as Citizenship, assemblies, tutor times and Character Week.
