The Manshead Personal Development Education programme encompasses Personal, Social, Health Education (PSHE), Relationship and Sex Education, Citizenship, IAG (Information, Advice and Guidance) and Careers. Our curriculum gives students opportunities to reflect on their experiences and how they are developing.

The curriculum gives our students the knowledge and wisdom to understand and manage a wider range of relationships as they mature, showing dignity and  respect for the diversity of our community.
