Our aim is to provide the knowledge, understanding and skills children need to manage their own lives now and in the future, enabling them to develop the qualities and attributes they need to thrive as individuals, family members and members of society as a whole.
In Early Years, PSHE is referred to as personal, social and emotional development (PSE). This area of learning is concerned with wellbeing – knowing who you are, where you fit in and feeling good about yourself. It is also about developing respect for others, social competence and a positive disposition to learn. Please follow the Early Years Curriculum tab to the right for more information.
In KS1, PSHE is taught through the following strands:
- Relationships – Pupils are taught to identify and respect difference between people. They identify special people in their lives. Children learn to manage conflict within a friendship.
- Living in the Wider World – Children learn about rights and responsibilities. They learn about people who can help us in an emergency. Children explore types of teasing and bullying and develop strategies to deal with bullying.
- Health and Wellbeing – They celebrate strengths and set challenging goals. Children understand the importance of maintaining personal hygiene and what constitutes a healthy lifestyle.
Throughout Key Stage Two, these key skills are developed further, extending children’s knowledge of each strand.
- Relationships – Children learn about the different family types and explore how families give love, security and stability. They learn about online safety within relationships. Children learn to manage conflicts and recognise who to trust.
- Living in the Wider World – They explore the different types of bullying and the impact of bullying. Children learn about the role of money and managing money through visits from Metro Bank and NatWest Bank.
- Health and Wellbeing – Children learn about the benefits of physical exercise and time outdoors. They explore the risks of an inactive lifestyle. Children learn how to respond in an emergency situation and learn how to carry out basic first aid.
