At Stamford Queen Eleanor School PSHCEE is involved in providing a variety of other activities such as Industry day, induction to KS4, Diversity day, Work experience and mock interviews.  Wherever possible, relevant community groups, organisations and individuals are invited into school to make a contribution to the programme and enrich the curriculum.  We enlist the support of the school nurse and health advisers, connexions for careers advice, theatre groups, local politicians, local police and other community groups.  Students are encouraged to work, participate and benefit from involvement in the local community.  We take/make as many opportunities as possible to promote local, national and global issues.
