As a part of your child’s education at Manchester Academy, we promote personal wellbeing and development through the Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education programme. The PSHE curriculum gives young people the knowledge, understanding, attitudes and practical skills to live safe, healthy, productive lives and meet their full potential to support them in and beyond Manchester Academy.  

The curriculum is delivered by Form Tutors, covering a wide variety of topics, where British Values are embedded throughout. Assemblies, Form-time activities, and Co-Curricular content are aligned to allow for a thorough and holistic and consistent delivery. 

The PSHE curriculum covers three strands:

Living in the wider world

Health and well being
