PERSONAL, SOCIAL & HEALTH EDUCATION & CITIZENSHIP

Our aim is to enable all pupils to develop their personal identity and self-worth and at the same time develop respect for others. Great emphasis is placed on self advocacy, although many pupils do find this difficult. As a consequence of this we constantly seek ways of enabling pupils to make decisions and choices appropriate to their needs and age.

We have a close relationship with the Health Service and have an assigned school nurse who visit us regularly.

Portal House School offers the valuable services of an on-site therapist, offering aromatherapy, reflexology and skincare advice and treatments to all pupils – with parental consent
