Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE)

Intention

To build a PSHE/RSHE curriculum which develops learning and results in the acquisition of knowledge and skills which enables children to access the wider curriculum and to prepare children to be a global citizen now and in their future roles within a global community. PSHE and RSHE enables our children to become healthy, independent and responsible members of society. It aims to help them understand how they are developing personally and socially, and tackles many of the moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up. We provide our children with opportunities for them to learn about rights and responsibilities and appreciate what it means to be a member of a diverse society. Our children are encouraged to develop their sense of self-worth by playing a positive role in contributing to school life and the wider community. PSHE/RSHE helps to develop responsible citizens of the future. Over time it accumulates knowledge, behaviours and skills that a person can tap into to demonstrate their cultural competence.

Implementation

Clear and comprehensive scheme of work in line with the National Curriculum. The school curriculum will focus on four core learning themes: health and wellbeing, anti-bullying, relationships, and living in the wider world. The Scheme of work also includes opportunities to link British Values, Christian Values and SMSC.

Impact

Children will demonstrate and apply the Christian and British Values of Democracy, Tolerance, Mutual respect, Rule of law and Liberty. Children will demonstrate a healthy outlook towards school – attendance will be in-line with national and behaviour will be good. Children will achieve age related expectations across the wider curriculum. Children learn social skills and realise talents, develop character and resilience, and learn about British Values, Christian Values, Diversity and Mental Health & Wellbeing, developing a pupil’s ‘cultural capital’.
