Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHE)
Intent
Our PSHE curriculum is designed to equip all pupils with the essential knowledge, skills and attributes to stay safe, be healthy and succeed in modern Britain. In line with the PSHE Association Programme of Study, it provides a structured and progressive framework across Key Stages 1 and 2, ensuring full coverage of statutory Relationships and Health Education.
The curriculum is coherently sequenced around the three core themes of Health and Wellbeing, Relationships, and Living in the Wider World, enabling pupils to build on prior knowledge and develop increasing independence in applying their learning to real-life contexts.
We intend that pupils will:
- understand how to maintain positive physical and mental health, recognising risk and knowing how to seek support
- develop the skills to form safe, respectful and healthy relationships, both online and offline
- become responsible, active citizens, with an understanding of diversity, equality and economic wellbeing
Our curriculum reflects the needs of our pupils and community, promoting inclusivity, safeguarding and equality of opportunity. It prioritises the development of resilience, confidence and critical thinking, enabling pupils to make informed decisions and manage challenges effectively.
Ultimately, we aim for all pupils to leave primary school prepared for the next stage of education, with the knowledge and personal skills required to contribute positively to society and manage their lives safely and successfully.
