Intent

Our PSHE curriculum ensures that all pupils take part in weekly lessons that prepare them for their later life, so that they can grow into confident individuals who are ready to participate in their communities and make safe, informed choices about their life. These key life lessons will be connected to lessons about British Values and Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural issues. Pupil wellbeing and safeguarding will be at the forefront of all PSHE and linked lessons. 

Implementation

Our PSHE curriculum educates pupils in a discrete weekly lesson each Friday afternoon. Lessons are delivered through whole class and small group work interactive sessions with the weekly focus displayed on the class PSHE display board and changed each week. We follow the SEAL planning scheme for PSHE, with six themes across the school year, building upon the prior year’s learning. We use the Christopher Winter scheme for RSE, Relationships and Sex Education. Weekly Wellbeing Wednesday sessions involve teachers across the whole school checking in individually with all of their pupils. 

Impact

Our PSHE curriculum prepares pupils for their lives in the wider community in modern Britain. By revisiting topics and developing skills pupils get the opportunity to reflect upon their personal growth and life experiences and develop individually, as respectful, sociable pupils who excel and care for their environment and others.
