PSHE & CAREERS

We seek to use PSHE education to build, where appropriate, on the statutory content already outlined in the national curriculum, the basic school curriculum and in statutory guidance on: drug education, financial education, sex and relationship education (SRE) and the importance of physical activity and diet for a healthy lifestyle.
Living in the Wider World
Relationships
Health and Wellbeing
We use the themes of ‘Living in the Wider World’, ‘Relationships’ and ‘Health and Well Being’ in order to prepare students for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life, as well as to promote the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of students within the Academy.

Careers Provision

Our ambition is that through this provision, we will provide comprehensive exposure to our students of the options they have once they leave St Wilfrid’s. Students will receive guidance and assistance in making purposeful, personal choices that provide a pathway to achieve their aspirations.
