PRIDE
“I enjoy PRIDE lessons because they are more project based and we learn about real issues.”
Year 9 student
The core aim of the PRIDE curriculum is to prepare our students for life in modern Britain. It is our programme for the more traditional PSHE (Personal, Social and Health Education) and RSE (Relationships and Sex Education). Topics taught fall into the following core themes;
| Core Theme 1: Health and Wellbeing | Core Theme 2: Relationships | Core Theme 3: Living in the Wider World |
|
Topic areas: Personal identity Healthy lifestyles Keeping safe |
Topic areas: Healthy Relationships Relationships and sex education Relationship safety Valuing difference |
Topic areas: Rights and responsibilities Economic wellbeing Employability and enterprise Career progression |
The programme covers statutory themes as well as a personalised curriculum tailored to the issues that our students tell us they are facing through our student voice PRIDE questionnaire at the beginning of each year.
Students follow a spiral curriculum from years 7 to 11, allowing them to revisit concepts and topic areas, each time extending knowledge, deepening understanding and developing skills that are appropriate to their age group.
