Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education

At Dorothy Barley Junior Academy, children attend a PSHCE themed assembly weekly, which follows a medium term plan which meets all objectives. This is followed up by an in-class assembly, which allows children to discuss what they have learnt, using techniques such as circle time or debates. The children also participate in a two hour P4C lesson every fortnight, which allows them to develop into effective, critical and creative thinkers and to take responsibility for their own learning in a caring and collaborative environment.
