Citizenship/PSHE is a carefully coordinated
and managed programme at Oakwood High School and is a vital
aspect of every pupil’s entitlement. It provides
experiences which promote the development of healthy lifestyles
and which
contribute to the quality and responsibilities of life
and the environment in order to develop an understanding
of becoming
informed citizens.

Citizenship/PSHE is taught as a discrete subject
on our timetable and is also delivered through Active Tutorials
as well as other curriculum subjects. It is delivered by
a teacher and teaching assistants. Our work covers topics
such as Ourselves, Safety, Drug Education, Sex Education,
Environmental Issues, Families, Relationships,
First Aid and Parentcraft. Pupils are also made aware of
issues which are going on around the world eg The Tsunami
disaster, Operation Christmas Child and are encouraged to
help in some way.

Pupils participation is recorded and comments
are made relating to how the pupils interact with others,
join in discussions, develop confidence, self esteem, participate
and may be lead a group in class.
Pupils’ active participation is recorded from work
completed in Active Tutorials and through work completed
in and out of school. We keep evidence of this in the pupils
Citizenship files. (This may be written or photographic evidence)
Pupils also complete units of work towards the ‘Personal
and Social Skills’ entry level qualification. The
parentcraft course is also certificated as part of the
Unit of Accreditation
Scheme.

Our pupils also participate in a Citizenship reward scheme
and can achieve a Citizenship Badge for completing Acts of
Kindness in school, at home, and in the community. You can
help them gain these awards by sending us a letter telling
us how your son/daughter has helped someone else at home
or in your neighbourhood.

All pupils at Oakwood participate in a Community
Service Programme
which is part of our Active Citizenship Work and which
links into the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme.
The school is part of the National Healthy Schools Scheme
and gained the full award in November 2003. All our pupils
are fully aware of healthy eating and how they can achieve
a healthy lifestyle
