PSHCE
(Personal, Social, Health, Citizenship and Economic Education)
PSHCE is an important part of our pastoral provision at The Ladies’ College.
The curriculum is designed to equip students with the tools they need to live safe and happy lives during their time at College and throughout their adult lives.
PSHCE aims to encourage girls to make informed decisions that promote health, happiness and well-being. It aims to create confident and resilient individuals who strive to be the best they can be. It aims to inspire girls to become active members of the community, embracing diversity and playing their part in securing a positive future for all.
Our curriculum design is based on recommendations from the PSHE Association and statutory UK RSE guidelines. An outline is provided below.
Each year, girls will cover the following topics:
 Health and well-being |
 Relationships (RSE) |
 Living in the wider world |
