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.
• Archbishop of York, Young Leaders’ Award
• Staff members trained in mental health first aid for children and adults
