Take a look at what pupils at Blakehill think about PSHE!
The PSHE Subject Council meet every term to talk about PSHE at Blakehill and what we can do to make it even better. Each class in our school have chose a PSHE Subject Councillor who represents their class in meetings with Mrs Malec. The Subject Council members will change each academic year so that as many children as possible have a voice about our curriculum across school.
As a subject leader, myself and all staff at Blakehill, take our children's view points and opinions very seriously because the children are at the heart of everything we do and the decision that we make. We always take account of what the children are passionate about and implement changes in the PSHE curriculum to fit. Please take the time to read what some of our pupils have said about the current PSHE curriculum at Blakehill!
