Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education is a school subject through which pupils develop the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to manage their lives, now and in the future. These skills and attributes help pupils to stay healthy, safe and prepare them for life and work in modern Britain. When taught well, PSHE education helps pupils to achieve their academic potential, and leave school equipped with skills they will need throughout later life.

Most of our PSHE work is focussed around discussions and experiences. We collate any written work in our class PSHE book. We can then look back and celebrate all of our lovely learning. Our class books are made to share, so please do come and ask to view them :)
Here is a small selection of our class PSHE books:
