Personal Development (RSE & HE)

Personal Development at Hillside High School

 

At Hillside High School, the term Personal Development is used to describe the teaching of the following:

 

  • RSE (Relationships and Sex Education)
  • HE (Health Education)
  • Citizenship
  • PSHE - Personal, Social and Health education.
  • BV - British Values.
  • CIEAG - Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (See CEIAG Policy).
  • SMSC – Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural education.


At Hillside High School we recognise that for students to benefit from their time with us we must ensure that they have the best possible teaching and pastoral care and they must ensure that they try to meet the expectations placed on them in work, conduct and attitude. We believe that the school should actively promote all students’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development by providing positive experiences through planned and coherent opportunities in the curriculum and through interactions with teachers, other adults and the local community. The aim of this Policy is to link and strengthen our whole school approach in order that the values inherent in our “Excellence in the Heart of the Community” ethos becomes a reality for the students.

 

Discrete delivery of RSE, health education and Personal Development (including statutory citizenship and careers requirements) together with a dedicated assembly programme and an SMSC enrichment programme; offers an inspiring and holistic experience to enable our young people to be responsible, reflective and active citizens with a strong awareness of British values. It is our vision to provide excellent RSE, PSHE and SMSC education to provide students with the knowledge, understanding and skills needed to prepare them to play an active role in modern Britain.

Delivery of Personal Development

 

Discrete Provision

 

The statutory content for RSE, health education and Citizenship education is delivered through the school’s Personal Development programme. (Please see Personal Development Overviews above for specific coverage)

 

Alongside discrete provision, Personal Development is also delivered through:-

  • Wider curriculum (e.g. History / RS / Computer Science / Science )
  • Guest Speakers
  • Weekly assemblies
  • Special assemblies and events
  • Newsletter

 

Curriculum Provision

 

All subjects should provide opportunities for the delivery of RSE and health education, Citizenship, careers and SMSC where appropriate.

 

As part of the subject review process, Subject Leaders reflect on the SMSC / Citizenship aspect of their curriculum to identify areas for development.
