PSHE - Personal, Social, Health and Economic PHSE at Hamstel Junior School: Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education is a school subject through which pupils develop the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to manage their lives, now and in the future. It helps children and young people to stay healthy and safe, while preparing them to make the most of life and work. PSHE education also helps pupils to achieve their academic potential. Most of PSHE education became statutory for all schools from September 2020 under the Children and Social Work Act 2017. This now includes Relationships Education (including Sex Education for our older children) and Health Education. At Hamstel Junior School, our aim is to offer our children a wealth of perspectives about the world we live in. We encourage them to believe that they have an element of control over at least some of the situations they encounter. We want our children to enjoy and be sure of their place in the world. By the time they leave us, we hope for them to have high expectations and the knowledge – and confidence - to make the right choices for themselves in order to live a happy and healthy life.
