PSHCE is a essential part of the RMS experience. There is greater emphasis than ever before on the School's responsibility to promote the personal and social development of girls and a recognition of the link between this and academic achievement. The aims of the the PSHCE programme are to promote the spiritual, moral, cultural, emotional and physical development of the girls enabling them to become well-informed and active members of society. Girls develop, learn and explore their own value and beliefs, display a strong moral code and make responsible and reasoned judgements on moral, health and ethical issues.
They have the opportunity to develop communication and leadership skills, which allow them to form positive relationships and show respect for diverse cultural traditions. Provision is coordinated through cross-curricular links with other subjects and additional curriculum experiences are provided by outside speakers' involvement in PSHCE days, assemblies, theatre and music groups, community projects and School Council.
Girls study topics such as Personal Managment; Emotional Health and Well Being; Healthly Living; Drugs Education; Personal Safety; Sex and Relationships Education and Social Awareness.
Regular PSHCE evenings are also offered for parents based upon "hot" topics affecting young people today.
