Pupils at Bromley High School took part in a Women’s Health and Relationships Day last week, designed to provide clear, relevant information alongside opportunities for reflection and wellbeing. The programme balanced factual learning with practical guidance, ensuring pupils were supported in developing knowledge and confidence in a range of areas.
A key session focused on the science of alcohol and its impact on the brain. Pupils explored how alcohol can affect judgement and decision making, helping them to understand how behaviour and personal boundaries may be influenced in certain situations. This provided a grounded, evidence based context for making informed choices.
Pupils also engaged in sessions on female health and wellbeing and by addressing these topics openly, the programme aimed to normalise discussion and ensure pupils feel better informed about their own health. Alongside this, pupils were encouraged to think critically about the influence of digital media, particularly where online content may present unrealistic or misleading representations of relationships and everyday experiences.
The day also included a focus on contemporary issues. Pupils examined how AI, can reflect and reinforce bias, prompting thoughtful discussion about the content they encounter. In addition, they received clear guidance on recognising and responding to inappropriate behaviour in public spaces, with an emphasis on personal safety and supporting others.
Pupils took part in a mindfulness session, offering a quiet space to pause and reflect, as well as a salsa workshop which promoted confidence, participation, and enjoyment through movement.
A series of parent webinars ran alongside the programme, providing an overview of the school’s approach and offering practical advice on discussing sensitive topics at home. These sessions aimed to support parents in building open, informed conversations with their daughters.
