PSHE and Citizenship
Years 7-11
PSHE and Citizenship at The Belvedere Academy aims to make a major contribution to preparing young people for the opportunities, responsibilities, and experiences of life.
It aims to help students develop in the following key areas:
We will:
- Help students to aspire to be the best they can be, to have dreams for their future and know what is required to reach them.
- Provide opportunities for our students to learn about rights and responsibilities and appreciate what it means to be a valuable member of an ever-changing diverse society.
- Help students to understand and consider many of the moral, social, and cultural issues that are part of growing up in modern Britain.
- Deepen our students’ understanding of the fundamental British values of democracy, individual liberty, the rule of law and mutual respect and tolerance.
- Develop their sense of self-worth by playing a positive role in contributing to school life and the wider community.
- Stimulate, challenge and nurture student’s spiritual, moral, social, and cultural curiosity.
- Help students to understand the importance of their physical and mental health, understand emotions and feelings and have strategies to help them become resilient and confident.
- Provide young people the knowledge they need to help them develop healthy, nurturing relationships of all kinds.
