Personal, Social and Health Education

Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHE) is a vital topic that helps children develop important knowledge, skills and attributes for life, for both now and in the future. We teach it as a discrete subject but it is also threaded throughout all aspects of school life including assemblies, behaviour and safety,

This is best explained in our curriculum overview below:

There are three strands to our curriculum. The image below demonstrates the key areas within each of these. These are taken from the English National Curriculum and the Personal Development expectations for primary schools, and is adapted to the needs of our pupils.

Our Learning Heroes exemplify our Respect Values. We strive to emulate the example that they set within our lessons and beyond. The full list of our heroes this year is below.

Careers Assemblies

Each half term, every year group have an assembly delivered from a visitor who will talk to us about their job. We will learn what they do, how they got there, who they help and what equipment they might use. We aim to help our learners aspire, understand what careers are available and what they might need to do to succeed here in the future. Keep an eye on our news page for more information about these each half term.
