PSHE

Teachers: Mrs Ninna Monan (BSc Computing and Business Management | QTS Tkat).

The PSHE (Personal, Social, and Health Education) curriculum at our school aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to lead healthy, responsible, and fulfilling lives.

"Indeed, Allah does not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves."

The Noble Qur’an [13: 11]

The curriculum covers a broad range of topics, including mental and physical health, relationships, personal development, and social responsibility, all taught through the lens of Islam. By integrating Islamic principles into each topic, we ensure that students develop a strong moral compass, a deep understanding of their responsibilities within their communities, and an appreciation for the values of respect, empathy, and integrity.

PSHE is a non-examination subject. You can see our school performance figures for 2024 GCSE exams here.


Course Overview

KS3

At Key Sstage 3, PSHE introduces students to essential life skills and topics related to personal development, relationships, and health. All subjects are explored through the lens of Islamic teachings, ensuring that students understand the relevance of Islam in their everyday lives. Topics such as emotional well-being, healthy lifestyles, and respect for others are covered in an age-appropriate way, with more sensitive themes such as relationships and sexuality introduced gradually. We focus on developing self-confidence, effective communication, and responsible decision-making, all while promoting an Islamic worldview.

KS4

In KS4, students continue their journey of personal and social development with a deeper exploration of topics such as mental health, relationships, and life skills, all grounded in Islamic values. While no formal exams are conducted for PSHE, students engage in reflective activities, group discussions, and projects that encourage critical thinking and self-reflection. Sensitive topics are reserved for the older years to ensure that content is delivered in an appropriate and respectful manner, always prioritising the well-being and maturity of the students.
