More in Common Learning Journey

More in Common (PSHE)

Overview

More in Common is our name for your child’s PSHE provision. This course follows the PSHE Association’s programme of study, which not only meets the statutory Relationships, Sex and Health Education requirements set out by the Department for Education, but goes beyond to include Economic Wellbeing and Careers Education, essential, and complementary, components of a comprehensive PSHE education programme.

At key stage 3, students build on the knowledge, understanding, skills, and attributes they have developed during the primary phase. PSHE education addresses the changes that young people experience, including transition to secondary school, the challenges and opportunities of adolescence and their increasing independence. It teaches knowledge and skills that will equip them for life, both now and in the future. Students learn to manage diverse relationships, their online lives, more independent health choices and the increasing influence of peers and the media.

At key stage 4, students deepen their knowledge and understanding, extend and rehearse strategies and skills, and further explore attitudes and attributes acquired during key stage 3. PSHE education at this key stage situates learning in age-appropriate contexts, as students mature, move towards an independent role in adult life, and take on greater responsibility for themselves and others.
