Year 12 PSHE Day

On Friday 7th November, Year 12 pupils were off timetable to look at various topics within our Key Stage 5 PRE and PSHE curriculums. Within their form groups, pupils had three hour long sessions with the amazing team from STEP, and looked at the topics of Ethical Shopping, Why Bother? and Identity. The fourth session was learning about Animal Sentience (consciousness, emotions, self-awareness and cognitive ability) and considered how and why we as humans treat some animals differently – some with love and respect, and others with little consideration. Overall, it was a hugely successful day with pupils demonstrating great engagement in topics that really made them think about how we act as a society, as well as who we are as individuals.
