Aims and purposes of PSHE and Citizenship at Bursley Academy
At Bursley Academy, we want our school curriculum to promote spiritual, moral, social and cultural development and prepare all pupils for the opportunities and responsibilities within their lives. PSHE and
Citizenship contributes to the school curriculum by helping to give pupils the skills, knowledge and understanding to lead confident, healthy, independent lives and to become informed, active and responsible citizens.
