Health and Wellbeing
Health and Wellbeing is an informative and empowering course of lessons offered to all year 8 and year 9 students.
These lessons form a core part of our Sex and Relationship Education in Key Stage 3 and have strong focus on​ equipping our students with the knowledge, skills and understanding of health and wellbeing and the impact it has on our day to day life.
Key Stage 3
Students will learn to become more independent through a variety of innovative lessons. These are delivered through discussions, practical activities and a range of theory based lessons. Twice a year students will undergo a series of fitness tests; this includes measuring their height and weight conducted in conditions of privacy. This is used to assess students’ levels of fitness and health.
Our aim of the Health and wellbeing curriculum is to equip students to tackle real life issues young people face as they grow up. It prepares pupils with the knowledge, understanding, and correct attitudes needed to live a healthy, safe and fulfilled life. With new additions to the 2020 statutory framework, the curriculum now includes: healthy relationships, sex education and menstrual health. The curriculum also intends to help students understand mental health in more detail, delving into the stigma and surrounding issues, whilst exploring the complex links between physical and mental health.
