PSHE Curriculum
Economic wellbeing and financial capability has been added to PSHE which should now be thought of as 'Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education'.
This supports the fifth outcome of Every Child Matters, and also contributes to the other outcomes, particularly ‘enjoy and achieve’ and ‘make a positive contribution’.
Economic wellbeing and financial capability is intended to support schools in developing coherent whole-school approaches to personal, social, health and economic wellbeing (PSHE). It also provides a context for schools to fulfil their legal responsibility to provide opportunities for work-related learning and careers education at key stages 3 & 4, for which non-statutory frameworks were published in 2003.
The national frameworks and related material are still available as supporting guidance.
Below are links to QCA documents detailing the non-statutory programmes of study for:
PSHE: Economic wellbeing and financial capability for key stage 3
PSHE: Economic wellbeing and financial capability for key stage 4
