WYMONDHAM COLLEGE

Students at Wymondham College undertake Personal, Social, Health and Economic education (PSHE) a varied programme to meet students' needs and enable them to consider a variety of necessary and interesting topics that are not always delivered through other subjects in the core curriculum. A comprehensive PSHE programme has been designed and is delivered twice fortnightly to Key Stage 3 and 4 students by a designated team of teachers. PSHE is designed to promote the Spiritual, Moral, Cultural, Mental and Physical development of students.

​

The curriculum is structured so that the topics follow a progression from one year to the next, are appropriate for the age and experiences of students and are within the guidelines set by the Department for Education.

​

As head of PSHE my primary role is to ensure that the topics that are being covered are relevant to and follow the guidelines set by the Department of Education. Additionally, I am responsible for liaising with outside organisations, such as the Police, the NHS & The Matthew Project, and similar organisations, to deliver up to date and factual content. I lead a team of twelve members of staff, with a plethora of experience and skills, from a range of departments that contribute not just to teaching but also with developing the curriculum. I have a wealth of experience relevant to the topics being covered. Having over ten years' experience teaching and working in a boarding environment, I have encountered young people with a range of social and emotional issues, supporting young people and their families to overcome challenges which present themselves.

​

The PSHE curriculum is updated every half term and as such details regarding topics being delivered will be made available to parents and students via the VLE & the website. If you have any questions, queries or concerns regarding the content being delivered please do not hesitate to contact me, either via email or ext. 4379.
