The letters in S.P.H.E stand for Social, Personal, and Health Education. As a subject it is concerned with assisting pupils to develop knowledge, skills and attitudes that will empower them to live healthy lives.

One part of the programme is the section which would have been previously covered as R.S.E. (relationship and sexuality education). This work is covered in a two year cycle and the R.S.E. programme will be taught in the Easter term, '05 and covered again in the '06-'07 academic year.
