Personal, Social, Health and Economic Quizzes

PSHE quizzes written by teachers and experts for children in years 1 to 11 from KS1 to GCSE. Quizzes which teach life lessons to accompany our more academic ones.

PSHE is a part of the National Curriculum. It is different to most other subjects. There is no exam and the aim is to teach children to become happy and well-rounded adults. It is divided into four sections: Personal, Social, Health and Economic. What they learn at school should help children to be confident, to get on well with others, and to lead a healthy and economically independent lives.

Most of the quizzes have a link at the bottom to the relevant BBC Bitesize page. This enables children to learn more about the subject if they wish.

There is quite a bit of overlap between these sections. Some topics may be seen as both health and personal, or as both personal and social for example. PSHE is also taught as parts of other lessons, as it is such an ingrained part of our lives. In ICT online safety will be discussed, or in science how our bodies change as we age will be taught.

In addition, the issues dealt with in PSHE will also be used as topics for a school assemblies, or be the focus of campaigns organised by the school, such as anti-drugs or anti-bullying.

As we mentioned, there is considerable overlap between the different sections of PSHE. Obviously, certain topics will be taught at different ages and parents have the right to withdraw their child from sexual education lessons. Here is a rough guide to what children will cover in each category:
