Our school's PSE programme  promotes of fairness, citizenship and health. Health promotion is an integral part of the school's PSE programme. Opportunities arise within the programme for pupils to:

• recognise their individuality
• explore their own and others, attitudes and values
• develop personal and interpersonal skills
