Personal and Social Education
Personal and social education (PSE) at Ditcham Park helps to give pupils the knowledge, skills and understanding they need to lead confident, healthy and independent lives. It aims to help them understand how they are developing personally and socially, tackling many of the moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up. Pupils have one lesson per week of PSE at KS3
Learning opportunities are seen to take place across and beyond the curriculum, in specific lessons, and in assemblies, special school projects and other activities and events that enrich pupils' experiences.
Citizenship and Further Education (CFE) at Key Stage 4
For one lesson per week the senior pupils at Ditcham Park in Form 5 undertake a course of Citizenship equipping pupils with the knowledge, understanding and skills to play an active part in society as informed and critical citizens who are socially and morally responsible. It aims to give them the confidence and conviction that they can act with others, have influence and make a difference in their communities. Pupils also focus on their own personal academic and career paths by considering their options for the future. This includes visits to local Colleges and talks by visiting speakers on careers options and choices.
