Children in the Prep Department are taught a tailored PHSE and SRE session twice a week. Our PHSE curriculum gives our children the knowledge, understanding, attitudes and practical skills to know how to deal with the modern world and to live safe, healthy and productive lives – ultimately, it is a way of helping children to understand happiness, and to meet their full potential. We learn through exciting discussions, drawing, writing and role play all with the following aims in mind: 

• To respect and care bodies and minds.
• To provide the knowledge and information to which all pupils are entitled.
• To raise pupils’ self-esteem and confidence, especially in their relationships with others.
• To help pupils develop relevant skills (in language, decision making, assertiveness) and make the most of their abilities.
• To provide the confidence to be participating members of society and to value themselves and others.
• To help gain access to information and support.
• To develop skills for a healthier, safer lifestyle into adulthood.
• To develop and use communication skills and assertiveness skills to cope with the influences of their peers and the media.
