Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE)

Image of children representing PSHE

Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) is concerned with qualities, attitudes, knowledge and understanding, competencies and skills in relation to oneself and others.

PSHE includes everything schools do to promote pupils' good health and well-being. It is backed by the National Healthy Schools Standard.

It aims to help them understand how they are developing personally and socially, tackling many of the moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up. It leads to the fostering of self-esteem, independence and responsibility and is about being prepared to deal with key aspects of everyday life.

PSHE includes the themes of developing confidence and responsibility, careers education and guidance, being healthy, staying safe, developing positive relationships and having regard for the differences between people.
