At Parkside, our PSHCE curriculum is a planned, progressive journey designed to equip every student with the essential knowledge, skills, and resilience needed to thrive in an increasingly complex world. We go beyond theoretical knowledge, ensuring students gain practical, real-world skills for a safer, healthier, and more informed life.
Our PSHCE programme is structured to develop the whole student, empowering them to become informed, responsible, and resilient active citizens. It provides a safe space for students to explore real-life issues and develop the self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and coping strategies necessary for navigating adolescence and adulthood.
