Ormiston Ilkeston Enterprise Academy

Personal, Social, Health and Economics (PSHE)

Personal, Social, Health and Economic education (PSHE) helps pupils to develop the knowledge, builds self-esteem, resilience, empathy and many other skills and attributes they need to thrive as individuals, family members and members of society. From making informed decisions to succeeding in their first job, PSHE education helps pupils to manage many of the most critical opportunities, challenges and responsibilities they will face growing up.

These skills and attributes help pupils to stay healthy, safe and prepare them for life and work in modern Britain. PSHE education helps pupils to achieve their academic potential, and leave school equipped with skills they will need throughout later life. PSHE programme can tackle barriers to learning, raise aspirations, and improve the life chances of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged pupils.
