--- title: "Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education" url: "https://walthamgatewayacademy.co.uk/curriculum/personal-social-health-and-economic-education" school: "Waltham Gateway Academy" --- # Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHE) **Subject Leader for PSHE - Harriet Holdsworth** My name is Harriet Holdsworth, and I am the Subject Leader for PSHE. PSHE was the first subject I led in my primary teaching career and, since then, I have continued to develop my knowledge and expertise, as well as supporting other schools on their own PSHE journeys. I believe that PSHE is a vital part of the curriculum because it helps to **prepare our children for life in the wider world**. It provides children with a safe and supportive environment in which they can explore important topics, ask questions and develop the knowledge, skills and understanding they need to make informed choices. PSHE also gives children opportunities to develop their **confidence, resilience and understanding of themselves and others**. It encourages them to recognise and manage their emotions, build positive relationships and develop the skills they need to navigate an ever-changing world. As PSHE Subject Leader, my aim is to provide opportunities for our children to **build their confidence to take part in open and respectful discussions about a range of topics, while developing the knowledge and skills they need to manage the challenges and opportunities that life may present.** **Long Term Plan** [PSHE and RSHE Long Term Plan](https://walthamgatewayacademy.co.uk/files/documents/WGA_LTP_PSHE.pdf) ### Curriculum - [Curriculum](https://walthamgatewayacademy.co.uk/curriculum) - Curriculum overview - [Curriculum Overview](https://walthamgatewayacademy.co.uk/curriculum/curriculum-overview) - [Year 1 & 2 Overview](https://walthamgatewayacademy.co.uk/curriculum/curriculum-overview/year-1-2-overview) - [Year 3 & 4 Overview](https://walthamgatewayacademy.co.uk/curriculum/curriculum-overview/year-3-4-overview) - [Years 5 & 6 Overview](https://walthamgatewayacademy.co.uk/curriculum/curriculum-overview/year-5-6-overview) - [Art & Design](https://walthamgatewayacademy.co.uk/curriculum/art-design) - [Computing](https://walthamgatewayacademy.co.uk/curriculum/computing) - [Design & Technology](https://walthamgatewayacademy.co.uk/curriculum/design-technology) - [English](https://walthamgatewayacademy.co.uk/curriculum/english) - [EYFS](https://walthamgatewayacademy.co.uk/curriculum/eyfs) - [Geography](https://walthamgatewayacademy.co.uk/curriculum/geography) - [History](https://walthamgatewayacademy.co.uk/curriculum/history) - [Mathematics](https://walthamgatewayacademy.co.uk/curriculum/mathematics) - [Music](https://walthamgatewayacademy.co.uk/curriculum/music) - [Phonics](https://walthamgatewayacademy.co.uk/curriculum/phonics) - [Physical Education](https://walthamgatewayacademy.co.uk/curriculum/physical-education) - [Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHE)](https://walthamgatewayacademy.co.uk/curriculum/personal-social-health-and-economic-education) - [Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RHSE)](https://walthamgatewayacademy.co.uk/curriculum/relationships-sex-and-health-education) - [Science](https://walthamgatewayacademy.co.uk/curriculum/science) - [Spanish](https://walthamgatewayacademy.co.uk/curriculum/spanish) - [Worldviews Education](https://walthamgatewayacademy.co.uk/curriculum/world-views-religious-education) ![Waltham Gateway Academy](https://files.schudio.com/waltham-gateway-academy/images/icon/icon.png) ### Waltham Gateway Academy Sunningdale Grimsby North East Lincolnshire DN37 0UG 01472 502 256 ### Useful Links - [Governance](https://walthamgatewayacademy.co.uk/our-academy/governance) - [Our Team](https://walthamgatewayacademy.co.uk/our-academy/meet-our-team) - [Recruitment](https://walthamgatewayacademy.co.uk/our-academy/recruitment) - [Mission & Vision](https://walthamgatewayacademy.co.uk/our-academy/mission-visions-values) - [Admissions](https://walthamgatewayacademy.co.uk/parent-information/admissions) ### Quick Links - [Term Dates](https://walthamgatewayacademy.co.uk/parent-information/term-dates) - [Policies](https://walthamgatewayacademy.co.uk/key-policies) - [Curriculum](https://walthamgatewayacademy.co.uk/curriculum/curriculum-overview) - [Newsletter](https://walthamgatewayacademy.co.uk/latest-news) - [Contact Us](https://walthamgatewayacademy.co.uk/contact) [![Lincolnshire Gateway Academies Trust](https://files.schudio.com/waltham-gateway-academy/images/logo/logo-footer.png)](https://lincolnshiregateway.co.uk) © Copyright 2026 Waltham Gateway Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://walthamgatewayacademy.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
