PSHE Curriculum

Although evidence of these key values of school life can be seen in all areas of the school, at Barnwell we teach the PSHE, SMSC and the Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) content in discrete PSHE lessons. Currently students have one PSHE lesson a fortnight.

We follow the Cre8tive Curriculum scheme of learning that consists of 6 curriculum pathways.

Our 6 Key PSHE Curriculum Pathways
โ€ข Rights, Responsibilities and British Values
โ€ข Celebrating Diversity and Equality
โ€ข Relationships and Sex Education
โ€ข Staying Safe Online
โ€ข Health and Wellbeing
โ€ข Life Beyond school
