KS4 CURRICULUM BOOKLET

PSHE

Our programme for the study of Personal, Social, Health and Economic education has been created in consultation with students, staff and governors. Through a variety of workshops, presentations and productions we aim to safeguard students, support them spiritually, morally, culturally and physically, and prepare them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of life. The PSHE sessions for Key Stage Four are all delivered by specialist external providers exploring the key themes of Relationships, Body Awareness, Risk and Money Management. In addition, assemblies each week will also have a PSHE focus and will be delivered by different departments across the school. As ever, your child’s Progress Tutor and Head of Year will always be on-hand to support in cooperation with outside agencies.

Careers

We aim to equip every single student in the school with all of the skills and experiences possible in order for them to be successful in their working lives when they leave. Therefore we not only follow the Southampton Learner Entitlement but also provide additional opportunities for students to take part in.

In Key Stage Four students have the opportunity to be involved in:

 CV Writing  Mock Interviews  One Week’s Work Experience Placement  One-to-one Careers Interviews with a Level 6 advisor  RPCC Careers Festival  Visits to Careers Fairs, Workshops, Workplaces and Activities
