Introduction

We are a Chameleon Partner school. The majority of our curriculum from Year 7 through to Year 13 is created by Chameleonpde (Chameleon Personal Development Education). Chameleon is an award-winning resource provider which prides itself on creating an evidence-based, student-needs led, inspection compliant, spiral curriculum. Their materials are updated regularly to meet student need, and to comply with all statutory requirements. In addition, we use some resources created by the drug education charity, the Daniel Spargo Mabbs Foundation.

 

Key Stage 3 Curriculum

PSHE at Key Stage 3 allows students to expand their understanding and to develop skills that will enable them to make positive and safe choices. Our curriculum centres on our core topics of Emotional and Mental Health, Future choices and Money, Health and Fitness, Keeping Safe, Online Life and Media, Personal Skills Development, Relationships, Sexual Health, and Values, Rights and Responsibilities.

Students have the opportunity to help develop the curriculum through feedback given in a “How are you?” survey completed towards the end of each year. Lessons help students to develop self-confidence and self-awareness, as well as aid their critical thinking, oracy and teamwork skills.
