Chesterton's PSHE curriculum provides students with information, skills and understanding around key concepts and topics that allow them to lead happy, healthy lives and play a positive role in society. The curriculum reflects our positive ethos of inclusion, equality and diversity for all learners.

Eastern Learning Alliance Character and PSHE Curriculum Approach

The school teaches its PSHE provision primarily through a combination of a comprehensive, 7 year tutor time programme alongside timetabled year group-specific drop down days, assemblies and special events. Both the tutor time programme and the drop down day programme are designed to form a spiral curriculum, allowing students’ knowledge to build and develop in an age-appropriate way as they progress through their time at secondary school and sixth form.
