Careers and PSHE at Devonport High School for Boys

This area encompasses Careers, Work Experience, PSHE, Citizenship and British Values.

In these lessons covering non-exam subjects, students are led by tutors and external speakers to develop the skills and attitudes necessary for their moral and physical well-being, and future economic security.

Mr Scott, our Lead for Careers and PSHE, oversees the PSHE curriculum programme and a Careers Plymouth consultant provides 1:1 careers advice for Year 11 students and Sixth Form students.

As part of our Careers and PSHE tutorial programme we actively follow the new 2025 Gatsby Benchmarks for Careers also incorporating the CDI (Careers Development Institute) frameworks; utilise the PSHE Association programme of study and  promote the British Values of Democracy, Rule of Law, Individual Liberty, Mutual Respect and Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs.

We are currently working towards the Investors in Careers Award and the Quality in Careers Standard for DHSB.
