Personal, Social and Health Education is taught by Mrs K Woods (Head of Department) and Mr J Taylor.   At Key Stage 3 students receive one 50 minute lesson per week and at Key Stage 4 students have a lesson on a carousel.  We cover a number of different topics and use a variety of teaching techniques including circle time, role play and the use of videos.
We also have many outside speakers including Hampshire Police, Hampshire Fire Service and Andover Young Carers.

Citizenship is taught within PSHE and cross-curricular.
