About our school

PSHE

Personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education is an important and necessary part of all pupils’ education. At Shakespeare, we have personalised our curriculum to the specific needs of the children in our school community. The aim of PSHE at Shakespeare is to equip pupils with a sound understanding of risk and with the knowledge and skills necessary to make safe and informed decisions.

Below we have outlined the overview of the topics to be delivered each half term across school and have also provided the full programmes of study to show in depth what children will learn in each year group.
