PSHE

We have dedicated tutor sessions that seek to ensure that all students have access to a knowledge rich scheme of work to develop strength of character. This curriculum includes key opportunities to model and showcase the Oasis 9 Habits, think hard about specific societal events (current and past), and understand that there is a world beyond our school and location; building life knowledge that underpins a wider identity. The sessions are delivered by tutors, teachers and outside speakers, so that students may flourish to the best of their ability and are shown the benefits of a well-informed future.

All curriculum content, regardless of subject, should teach the skills needed to succeed and flourish in our society today. Alongside dedicated weekly hour-long sessions that straddle the PSHE curriculum (personal, social, health and economic), SMSC curriculum (spiritual, moral, social and cultural) and RSE curriculum (relationships and sex education), tutor time activities build society, community and self-belief to ensure that all students can grow into well-rounded global citizens.

Since September 2019, schools follow a new relationships and sex education and health education curriculum. Primary-age children must be taught about positive relationships and respect for others, and how these are linked to promoting good mental health and well-being. In addition, sex education will become mandatory at secondary level.
