Our Intent​​​​​​​

We value PSHE as an important part of the children’s entitlement to a broad and balanced curriculum. Our aim is to positively contribute to the personal development of the children by equipping pupils with attributes, skills and knowledge they need to support physical, mental and emotional wellbeing in school and beyond. We encourage all of our pupils to play a positive role in contributing to the life of the school and the wider community. In doing so, we develop their character; building their resilience, confidence, independence and sense of self-worth, as well as prepare our children for their life in Modern Britain; developing their understanding of the community and world in which we live. Our PSHE curriculum is central to giving the children the knowledge, skills and understanding they need to lead confident, healthy, independent lives and to become informed, active and responsible British citizens. We aim to deliver a high quality PSHE curriculum which should engage, inspire and challenge pupils and equip them with the confidence and knowledge to inform decision making; enabling them to understand risk and make safe, informed decisions. We recognise the central importance of PSHE in supporting children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing, academic achievement and future success and we aim to transfer our appreciation of the power of PSHE onto our children.
