Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education

PSHE Curriculum Intent

Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) Education helps children develop the knowledge, skills, and values they need to stay healthy, safe, and happy, build positive relationships, and become confident, responsible members of society.

We believe that our vision, Learning for life, building a firm foundation, is really important and as a school our pupils’ wellbeing, happiness and safety are our first priority. We regard PSHE as an important integral component of the whole curriculum; it is central to our approach and at the heart of what we do and we believe that children need firm foundations on which to build in all aspects of their lives.

 

Our PSHE curriculum aims to help children:

  • Develop confidence, resilience, and independence.

  • Build positive, respectful relationships.

  • Understand how to stay healthy, safe, and happy.

  • Recognise and manage their emotions.

  • Make informed and responsible choices.

  • Respect and celebrate differences within our diverse community.

  • Know how to stay safe both online and offline.

  • Understand their rights, responsibilities, and role as active citizens.

  • Prepare for the opportunities, responsibilities, and experiences of later life.

  • Develop the knowledge and skills to achieve their full potential.

Relationships and Health Education

 

We believe that Relationships Education is vital for the personal, social and emotional development of our pupils. It equips children and young people with the information, skills and values they need to have safe, respectful and enjoyable relationships.

 

Relationships Education focuses on teaching the fundamental building blocks and characteristics of positive relationships, including:

➢ Families and people who care for me

➢ Caring friendships

➢ Respectful kind relationships

➢ Online safety and awareness  

➢ Being safe

➢ Basic First Aid

 ➢ Developing bodies

 

Health Education is also taught through our PSHE curriculum. These topics will include:  

 ➢ General wellbeing

➢ Wellbeing online

➢ Physical health and fitness

➢ Healthy eating

➢ Health protection and prevention

➢ Personal safety

  • Drugs, alcohol, tobacco and vaping   

Protective Behaviours

 

We follow the Warwickshire schools’ Taking Care: Protective Behaviours Programme, which is part of our PSHE curriculum.

 

Protective Behaviours is a practical down to earth approach to personal safety. The aim of the programme is to teach the children about how to feel safe, how to talk about their feelings and how to recognise safe and unsafe feelings. This encourages an adventurous approach to life that satisfies the desire for fun and excitement without violence or fear. Protective Behaviours help children to recognise and trust their intuitive feelings (Early Warning Signs) and to develop a range of strategies for self-protection.

 

The programme focuses on two key themes:

  • We all have the right to feel safe all of the time; and

  • We can talk with someone about anything, even if it feels awful or small.

 

The sessions are specifically tailored to meet the needs of all year groups, from Foundation Stage to Year 6.  If you have any questions or queries, please speak to your child's class teacher who will be happy to tell you more about the programme.
