PSHE

PSHE at Chiltern Hills Academy helps students develop the knowledge, confidence and resilience needed to thrive in modern society. Through exploring real-life issues and experiences, students learn how to make informed decisions, build positive relationships, look after their wellbeing and prepare for adult life.

The programme supports students’ personal development by helping them understand themselves, their responsibilities and the world around them, while equipping them with practical skills that will support future education, employment and everyday life.
