The PSHE curriculum at West Didsbury CE has been carefully designed to cater to the needs of our pupils and equip them with the skills and knowledge to become responsible, considerate and active citizens. Its aim is to provide children with knowledge and skills necessary to make well-informed and safe decisions, as outlined in the National Curriculum. The curriculum covers various areas, including mental health and wellbeing, healthy lifestyles, drug and alcohol education, financial education and relationships education (RSE). The curriculum, adapted from Manchester Healthy Schools’ iMatter scheme, emphasises the significance of physical activity and diet for maintaining a healthy lifestyle, as per statutory guidance. While Citizenship is not a compulsory part of the curriculum, it holds a fundamental place in the PSHE curriculum at West Didsbury. Here, students learn about democracy, the rule of law, and the consequences of anti-social behaviour. Understanding these subjects is crucial for students to effectively navigate the changes, responsibilities, and challenges they may encounter throughout childhood, adolescence, and adulthood.
