Ethics

All pupils study Ethics, which incorporates PSHE, RSHE, and Religious Education.

Ethics

Ethics helps pupils develop the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to manage their lives, now and in the future. These skills and attributes help pupils to stay healthy, safe and prepare them for life and work in modern Britain.

PSHE

PSHE is taught in schools to teach children on the qualities and troubles they may face in their lives and advice on how to deal with these appropriately and effectively whilst remaining safe and secure. By knowing this, it prepares them physically, emotionally, socially, mentally and intellectually for the future.

Religious Education 

Religious Education is taught at Meadowhead as part of the Ethics curriculum. Most weeks students will study Religious Studies for one of their two hours of Ethics lessons. Families do have the right to withdraw students for the religious element of the Ethics curriculum. Please discuss this with your child’s Ethics teacher in the first instance. Families would be expected to provide their own resources for their child to use in a separate classroom during the withdrawal from lessons.

RSHE

Most of the RSHE curriculum is taught within the Ethics curriculum and lessons - for further information click here
