PSHE
All students follow a Personal, Social, Health Education programme. Topics are covered through lessons that are taught by teaching staff. Some topics are covered on our off timetable health days by external specialists and 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.
