Personal, Social, Health and Economic and Health Education (PSHEE) is a subject that supports students’ personal development. Our programme empowers students to make informed, healthy decisions - so they can make excellent decisions about their future with integrity and courage.
By providing specialist teaching in a 50-minute PSHEE lesson, weekly in Year 7 to Year 9 and fortnightly for Year 10 and Year 11, Fulham Cross provides students with a vital foundation for their future: the skills and attitudes needed to thrive in this ever-changing and complex world. PSHEE is taught in a safe environment, where students are encouraged to share their opinions and ideas to investigate how they can contribute to building positive, empathetic communities. Topics included in PSHEE are:
careers education and guidance,
physical and mental wellbeing,
substance misuse,
citizenship,
diversity and equality,
money management,
relationships, sex, and health education.
Some aspects of PSHEE are also taught or revisited in other curriculum areas, including Science, Religious Education, Computer Science, and Mathematics. PSHEE is also delivered through a vast range of other activities, including the assembly programme, curriculum trips, and by welcoming speakers into school. The Curriculum Area works closely with the Pastoral Team, particularly each year group’s Head of Year and Progress Tutor.
If you are a guardian of a child at the school and have any questions relating to the PSHEE curriculum or specific provision of sex education, please contact our Cross-Trust Lead of PSHEE and Careers via the email address: FCAT-PSHEE@fulhamcross.net
As a trust, we want to involve the wider community wherever possible. Collaboration with parents and carers helps us maintain an inclusive and high-quality PSHEE programme. For this reason, we ensure:
the relevant school policy is developed together with parents, carers, and students
our policy, curriculum map, and contact details are shared on the school website
there is an annual meeting with the PSHEE lead, where any questions can be answered
we provide advice to families on how to have sensitive PSHEE-style conversations at home
send an annual reminder about upcoming sex education and related parental rights
make all RSHE materials accessible to community members on request - under careful adherence to copyright law
