PSHE

All students follow a Personal, Social, Health Education programme. Topics are covered through lessons that are taught by teaching staff.

Health Days

Each year students will take part in a health day. These days form an important part of the PSHE curriculum which aims to promote healthy, responsible choices for students by providing them with factual information about a variety of topics. The sessions have been chosen as we feel they are relevant issues to the students; our hope is that they will feel informed throughout the day and also equipped to deal with issues explored.

Students will carousel round a series of workshops. The sessions will take place in school, during school hours. Sessions will be taught by visitors and/or KNGS staff. Students will have a member of the school’s teaching staff with them at all times in the classrooms for all sessions. Each session will last approximately 50 minutes.
