Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHEE) & Citizenship

PSHEE at East Barnet School equips students with the knowledge, understanding and skills they need to manage their lives now and in the future. It supports them in becoming healthy, safe, confident and responsible individuals who are able to thrive as members of their families, communities and wider society.

Through PSHEE, students develop the understanding and confidence to make informed decisions, manage change and navigate the opportunities and challenges they will encounter throughout their lives.

Our curriculum contributes to students’ personal development by helping them to build confidence, resilience and self-esteem. Students learn to recognise and manage risk, understand the factors that influence their choices and develop the skills needed to make responsible decisions about their wellbeing, relationships and future pathways.

Through exploring identity, diversity and difference, students develop empathy, respect and the ability to communicate effectively with others. These experiences help them to form positive relationships, work collaboratively and develop the personal and social skills that will support their future learning, careers and lives beyond school.
