Family Group Lessons - Secondary

Pupils are taught structured lessons during family group time in the mornings.  This covers topics such as Personal Social Health and Economic wellbeing (PSHE), pupil and community etiquette and cohesion, reading as a group for pleasure, acquiring cultural capital,  courageous advocacy,  social action and extended projects on inclusion, diversity, British Values and financial decision making. This curriculum adds depth and breadth to the character and personal development learning for all. 

The pupils are encouraged to live life in all its fullness by loving others as themselves. Pupils are also encouraged to be the good Samaritan taking lessons about self and community from Family group morning lessons and applying to their daily social interactions.

The PSHE curriculum is taught weekly in Family Groups session. Topics follow the governments RSE curriculum which focusses on personal survival skills on matters of health, relationships, mental well-being, British values, addiction, diet, exercise, finance diversity and inclusion. Pupils are taught to cherish and embrace diversity since we are all made in the image of God.

The PSHE curriculum, being part of the personal development program, also naturally overlaps with the Character Curriculum, teaching pupils important social and interpersonal skills of inclusion and diversity alongside lessons in life and self. Outstanding relationships help pupils to thrive and grow together as a loving family.

The PSHE curriculum has a strong ethos running through it of helping others and advocating courageously on behalf of those whose voice is not as strong.

The pupils are encouraged to live life in all its fullness by loving others as themselves and by being the good Samaritan taking lessons about self and community from PSHE into their daily social interactions.
