PSHEE Curriculum Intent

The intent of the PSHE curriculum at The Willink is to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and values they need to lead safe, healthy, and fulfilling lives. Furthermore, PSHEE is there to help students in the development of their personal and social skills building positive relationships. Our aims are primarily concerned with individual students’ development.

Through a carefully sequenced programme across Key Stages 3 and 4, students follow a spiral curriculum around the three key themes of:

  • Health and Wellbeing
  • Relationships
  • Living in the Wider World

Our curriculum is designed to:

  • Promote mental and physical health, encouraging students to develop resilience, self-awareness, and healthy lifestyle choices.
  • Foster positive relationships, with a strong emphasis on consent, boundaries, and safeguarding, helping students to recognise and respond to unhealthy or exploitative behaviours.
  • Develop students’ understanding of citizenship, politics, and economic wellbeing, empowering them to become active, informed participantsin their communities and the wider world.
  • Encourage critical thinking and ethical decision-making, supporting students to navigate complex social issues such as discrimination, radicalisation, and global conflict.
  • Provide opportunities for reflection and personal growth, ensuring students are prepared for the challenges of adolescence and adulthood.

By the end of Key Stage 4, students will have developed the knowledge and attributes outlined in the Department for Education’s statutory RSHE guidance, enabling them to make informed choices, maintain respectful and healthy relationships, and contribute positively and responsibly to society. This aligns with The Willink’s vision to ensure students are confident, respectful and resilient global citizens with the knowledge and skills to be successful in 21st Century.
