PSHE at St Michael's Easthampstead

Through our PSHE curriculum at SME, we aim to create an ethos of trust and mutual respect between adults and pupils within the school community and beyond. We aim to enable all members of our school to develop their independence and confidence and to learn to take responsibility for making the most of their abilities. Our children are encouraged to engage in decision making within the school and to express their opinions on a range of issues. Everyone is encouraged to participate in active citizenship, making a positive contribution to the life of the school and the wider community.
