Personal, Social and Health Education

PSHE education is a planned programme of learning through which pupils acquire the knowledge, understanding and skills they need to manage their lives now and in the future. As part of a whole school approach, it develops the qualities and attributes pupils need to thrive as individuals, family members and members of society.

Our PSHE curriculum aims to:

  • increase self-confidence and aspirations
  • learn new skills to support and challenge dreams and aspirations
  • develop personal strengths
  • enhance resilience
  • recognise the need for healthy lifestyles
  • become independent thinkers
  • work collaboratively

For PSHE, we teach 6 themes over the year (one every half term). The themes are:
-Being Me in the World
- Celebrating Difference
- Dreams and Goals
- Healthy Me
- Relationships
- Changing Me

 

In addition to the curriculum, we follow the Just Finance Foundation Programme with one lesson every half term for each year group.

Just Finance Foundation is a national charity working with schools, families, and change makers to build financially resilient communities where everyone has an equal opportunity to thrive. We believe that education is key to improving financial equality over the long-term.

 

Additionally, we are a 'My Happy Mind' School.

We are proud to be a part of the myHappymind Family!
As a whole school program grounded in science and dedicated to building positive mental wellbeing, myHappymind helps children understand
how their brains work and creates a culture that helps to build children's resilience, confidence, and self-esteem. myHappymind also teaches
the children how to self-regulate and manage their emotions in stressful times, allowing them to be their very best selves!
