EDUCATION TO UNDERSTAND THE WORLD & CHANGE IT FOR THE BETTER

Guidance

Guidance is a fundamental part of life at Thomas Tallis because it is child focussed: it enables each individual to understand themselves in a meaningful, honest and optimistic way and it empowers them to be independent, persistent and kind human beings in the choices they make for themselves and in the way they interact with others as part of their local and wider community. At the heart of Thomas Tallis School is the students. We want to provide them with education to understand the world and change it for the better. Guidance enables them to change their own life, and the world, for the better.
 
Guidance at Thomas Tallis encompasses the following:

​PSHE
Personal, Social and Health Education

​Includes Relationships and Sex Education (RSE), Personal Safety, Digital Literacy and e-Safety, Drugs and Alcohol Awareness, Mental Health and Safeguarding.

Taught across year 7-13 by the tutors for one hour a fortnight in a dedicated lesson, as well as through assemblies, registration activities and whole school Community Days.

​Please note that RSE takes place in the spring term, however, lesson may be delivered at different times depending on the needs of the tutor group. We follow the National Statutory Requirements for our PSHE curriculum. ​
RSE Policy

​Citizenship

​Includes Rights % Responsibilities, Identity & Diversity, Personal Safety, the Law, Democracy & Justice, Politics and Fundamental British Values.

​Taught through Tallis Character, Democracy Week, Mock Trials, Mock Elections and Student Voice. 

​SMSC Provision
Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural Provision

​Developed through all faculty areas in their individual curricular and extra-curricular opportunities. Much of what students learn through PSHE will cover aspects of their SMSC provision.
SMSC Policy


​Student Voice

Developed through all subject areas, but also through Student Council, Democracy Week, Mock Elections, and a range of public speaking opportunities. 
CEIAG and Work Inspiration
Careers Education, Information and Guidance
Includes the Tallis Futures Careers Model (see hyperlink)
Taught through academic and career progression across year 7-13.

TALLIS FUTURES
Tallis Character
Kindness, fairness, honesty, optimism, and respect
We are committed to embedding this in the fabric of Thomas Tallis by focussing on a different character trait each term. 
TALLIS CHARACTER


​Community Days

Three across the academic year, dedicated to PSHE and Citizenship issues.
They are an opportunity for the community to learn together in different ways. These days enable students to focus on personal development, their role as a citizen, and their collective student voice. The community days focus on different things:
  1. Tallis Choices (focuses on life choices, run through pastoral teams)
  2. Citizenship (focuses on an international issue of citizenship, run through curriculum areas) 
  3. Tallis Voices (focuses on school wide issues, run in vertical groupings)
