Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHRE) and Citizenship at St John Fisher

Personal, social, health and economic (PSHRE) education at St John Fisher supports students’ learning and personal development.

Personal, social, health and economic education is a planned programme to help students and young people develop fully as individuals and as members of families and social and economic communities, along with equipping them with the knowledge, understanding, attitudes and practical skills to live healthily, safely, productively and responsibly.

Students are given the opportunity to reflect on and evaluate their achievements and strengths in all areas of their lives and recognise their own worth. The programme allows students to demonstrate respect for differences between people and enabling them to recognise some strong emotions and identify ways of managing these emotions positively.  

Along with students being able to assess their personal qualities, skills and achievements and use them to set future goals, they are taught to present themselves confidently and use praise and criticism effectively.

Assembly and form time also support the PSHREHRE/Citizenship programme.
