Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHE)
PSHE, SMSC & RSE
Intent
We aim to develop resilient, independent, loving and caring individuals who have a sound awareness of the key principles of relationships, respect, careers, health and safety to prepare them for future life.
We wish to:
- develop pupils’ cultural capital by giving pupils the information they require to gain a knowledge of the wider world through awe and wonder experiences.
- create an understanding of a multicultural and diverse world in which we live.
- promote acceptance, respect and celebrate our differences.
- inspire awareness of local and wider communities to make positive changes to the world.
- embed how to keep safe
- foster British values and what it means to be British.
- Expand understandings of careers to prepare and inspire pupils.
- nurture positive relationships (including RSE).
- cultivate positive, healthy strategies for physical and mental wellbeing.
Implementation
- As a school, we have a strong long-term plan that caters for the needs of all pupils within our school.
- Weekly PSHE sessions
- Visits and visitors to school
- We provide all pupils with opportunities to take a step back and appreciate life (awe) and ask questions that we can discuss as a school (wonder).
- Subject specific vocabulary.
- Opportunities for children to reflect on and express their views and opinions
- Opportunities to develop children’s social, emotional and mental health through trained staff and individualised interventions.
- Many opportunities for exploring British Values – for example involvement in interviews, school improvement groups, questionnaires.
