On Wednesday 16th November, we collapsed the timetable and everybody focussed on Social and Personal Education (SPE) themes for the day.
Students threw themselves into everything they were set to complete.
Year 7 looked at personal hygiene and safety, including a visitor from the Warwickshire County Council’s Road Safety Education and Active Travel Team.
Year 8 discussed what ‘consent’ means and how to deal with pressures from their peers and social media.
For year 9, there were some more difficult themes around mental health, but considered some incredibly important information on signs to look out for and how to make sure we care for ourselves and others. Samaritans were in school to support us with this really important topic.
Year 10 got stuck in to some team building activities, and had some very interesting designs for their shoe brands!
Year 11 were spoken to by many visitors, all focusing on careers and their futures. Mrs Roberts and Mrs Skidmore also delivered a fantastic ‘basic first aid’ session, with lots of top tips to take away.
Finally, thanks to our Careers Advisor Mrs Dixon, all year 11 pupils had a mock interview with a local employer to get some practice in for their next steps. It was an incredibly busy day with over 30 visitors on site, but all staff supported in making sure the day was a success and all pupils were resilient and mature with the themes they were covering. As a school we have now been able to cover a vast range of the compulsory Relationships and Sex Education and Health Education guidance, which is so vital in preparing our pupils in becoming well-rounded and informed responsible citizens.
