The Pupils Guidance Faculty is situated in its own area and consists of Personal and Social Education (PSE), Careers and Special Needs.

Personal and Social Education (PSE) / Careers

Students follow a weekly PSE programme which includes Health Education, Sex Education and Careers.

Sex Education is taught by Form Tutors with additional input provided by specialists such as Health Visitors, GP’s, Health Promotion. All aspects are covered with particular emphasis on good relationships, responsibility and health.

Time within this lesson is also allocated to compiling their personal Pupil Progress file, which will in time be useful to parents, employers and establishments of further education.

The curriculum of Year 10 or Year 11 is enriched by a period of one week’s work experience, which enables pupils to broaden their horizons and gain an insight into the world of work.
