Personal health and social education

Personal, social, health and economic education (PSHEe) is a programme of learning in schools which aims to give children and young people the knowledge, understanding and skills they need to manage their lives.

PSHEe is a non-statutory subject. This means children and young people aren’t forced to take it. Schools in Newcastle teach it because PSHEe contributes to their duty to promote and nurture pupils’ personal and economic wellbeing, and prepare them for adult life.
