PSHE/RSHE

PSHE is central to giving pupils the knowledge, skills and understanding they need to lead confident, healthy, independent lives and to become informed and responsible British citizens. It underpins our curriculum and is woven through all areas of school life.

We want all pupils at Field House to recognise their own value, work well with others and become increasingly responsible for their own learning. We foster positive attitudes which promote:

Health and wellbeing – valuing their own identity, managing risks and making safe decisions
Relationships - respecting difference and diversity, forming effective, fulfilling relationships that are essential to life and learning
Living in the wider world – contributing to school life and the community
