PSHE (Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education)

PSHE at King Ina Academy
 
At King Ina our programme of PSHE Education and SRE enables children to become healthy, independent and responsible members of society. We encourage our pupils to play a positive role in contributing to the life of the school and the wider community. In so doing we help develop their sense of self-worth. We teach children both about their rights and about their responsibilities. They learn to appreciate what it means to be positive members of a diverse and multicultural society.
 
The aims of PSHE Education and RSE at King Ina are to:
  • Promote the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of all pupils
  • Prepare pupils for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life
