PSCHE
At Glyn, PSCHE education is a strategically planned programme through which our young people acquire the knowledge, understanding and skills they need to manage their lives now and in the future.
It helps to safeguard students, support their spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development and prepare them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of life.
PSCHE is taught one lesson per week in tutor groups by the form tutors. Each year group follows a unique set of programme of study - please see download our programme belwo for details.
