PSHE

Our PSHE Champion is: Mrs. Frankel

PSHE plays a significant part in our day to day running of our school. We use PSHE to help us embed our three school rules of: Be Ready, Be Respectful and Be Safe. Every year group studies the same unit at the same time which allows for whole school themes to be shared and celebrated across the school including through our assemblies. Year groups are taught one lesson per week, in an age- and stage-appropriate way to meet the children’s needs. The units cover a wide range of topics and build on prior learning and experiences. They also include 'Growing & Changing' which incorporates the Sexual Relationships Education statutory elements of the curriculum. 

To further enrich the curriculum we welcome the 'Life Education Bus' each year to help us cover some of the units. The children love exploring the different themes and this helps them meet our 'Ten Feet Tall' vision by making children 'feel positive about themselves,' 'feeling safe and secure,' and 'having friends and people around them who like, trust and respect them.'

The values and learning from PSHE don't just take place in once a week lessons, our monitoring has shown that it is embedded across different subjects in the curriculum, its themes are used in our assemblies and it is based on our overall school vision.
