Personal Social Health and Employment (PSHE)
PSHE at Cheney is divided into four key themes which are explored in each year group. The curriculum has been *5 developed in line with the new government guidelines introduced in 2020, so it is contemporary, interesting and relevant. In each year group, students will cover sex and relationships education; health and wellbeing; risk management and personal attributes and careers. PSHE will be covered once a week during tutor time. Additionally, all Year 9 students are currently receiving an enrichment curriculum in which they will study a number of PSHE topics to prepare them for life outside of school.
