The curriculum framework includes:

‘Circle Time’ is considered to be the most effective approach for the teaching of PSHE.

Our class topic letters have more details of the PSHE curriculum for each year group. These can be found by clicking on the “Children” section.

Our Intent for our PSHE Curriculum

Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education is a subject through which pupils develop the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to manage their lives, now and in the future. PSHE gives pupils the knowledge, skills, and attributes they need to keep themselves healthy and safe and to prepare them for life and work in modern Britain.

These skills and attributes help pupils to stay healthy, safe and prepare them for life and work in modern Britain. PSHE education helps pupils to achieve their academic potential, and leave school equipped with skills they will need throughout later life. (PSHE Association).

Our Implementation for our PSHE Curriculum

Our PSHE lessons are based on the same theme for each year group and are taught using the scheme SCARF.  These are:

• Me and My Relationships - Includes feelings/emotions/conflict resolution/friendships

• Valuing Differences - Includes British Values focus

• Keeping Myself Safe - Includes aspects of safe internet use, drugs and Relationships Education

• Rights and Responsibilities - Includes money/living in the wider world/environment

• Being My Best - Includes keeping healthy/Growth Mindset/goal setting/achievement

• Growing and Changing -  Includes RSE-related issues

British Values

Each week there is an assembly dedicated to a British Value.  This allows each year group to discuss the value.

The British Values are:

• Democracy
• The Rule of Law
• Tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
• Individual Liberty
• Mutual Respect
