Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHCE) education is a school subject through which pupils develop the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to manage their lives, now and in the future. These skills and attributes help pupils to stay healthy, safe and prepare them for life and work in modern Britain. At Manston St James we follow the ‘You, Me and PHSE’ scheme. The scheme is into 7 different strands: sex and relationship education (SRE), drug, alcohol and tobacco education, physical health and wellbeing, mental health and emotional wellbeing, keeping safe and managing risk, careers, financial capability and economic wellbeing and identity, society and equality. Within each strand, pupils are taught age appropriate topics. PSHE is taught on a weekly discrete basis, with some content also being taught through other subject areas, and within other contexts, such as assemblies, ‘circle time’ or ‘class discussions’.
