As a part of your child’s education at Hawkley Hall High School we promote personal wellbeing and development through a comprehensive Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education programme. PSHE education is the curriculum subject that gives young people the knowledge, understanding, attitudes and practical skills to live safe, healthy, productive lives and meet their full potential.
Our overall aim is that students acquire the knowledge, understanding and skills they need to manage their own lives now and in the future. As part of the whole school approach, PSHE education develops the qualities and attributes students need to thrive as individuals, family members and members of society.
