How can PSHCE help me?
How can PSHCE help me?
In PSHCE you will acquire the knowledge, understanding and skills you need to manage your lives now and in the future. PSHCE develops the qualities and attributes you need to thrive as an individual, family member and member of society. In particular, Citizenship Education helps to provide you with knowledge, skills and understanding to prepare you to play a full and active part in society.
PSHCE helps you to build confidence, resilience and self-esteem, identify and manage risk, make informed choices and understand what influences your decisions. It enables you to recognise, accept and shape your identity, to understand and accommodate difference and change, to manage emotions and to communicate constructively in a variety of settings.
Studies show that statutory PSHCE curriculum in KS4 helps to raise attainment at GCSE. Through its proven impact on physical and mental health, levels of bullying and general behaviour, PSHCE education removes barriers to learning and develops skills that help young people to succeed.

"I find PSHCE important because the things discussed in class don't really have to do with school and education but focus on the topic of the real world, the struggles and how to overcome them."

Methods of Study
Methods of Study
The topics progressively expand and enrich concepts and skills. PSHCE develops the skills required for self-management and positive relationships in a variety of settings and the essential skills of enquiry.
In a typical PSHCE lesson you can expect to use research, response and discussion and debate, formulating questions about big issues, gathering and using data, assessing the validity and reliability of a variety of sources among other skills.
You will learn analysis (including separating fact from opinion), planning and deciding, applying knowledge creatively and drawing and defending conclusions using evidence. It is taught through a spiral programme, revisiting themes whilst increasing challenge, broadening the scope, and deepening your thinking through your time at TGSB. This will prepare you for whatever path you choose at post-16.
