PSHE

Throughout the PSHE curriculum, our children learn to be “happy, healthy and safe, in the world they live in.”

Intent:

Our PSHE curriculum is informed by our school ethos and reflects our school population and context.  Many of the skills and knowledge taught are the foundation of the school curriculum and are transferable to other subjects.  Children’s learning will give them skills and knowledge necessary for the future.

As a result of our PSHE programme, pupils will be able to express and manage their feelings and emotions and share their opinions with others. They will learn to respect other people’s differences and develop the skills to form healthy relationships. Pupils will know the importance of living a healthy life and will be equipped with ways to protect their own physical and mental health and the health of others.  They will also be taught ways to keep themselves and others safe. Children will understand their rights and responsibilities now and in their future lives.

Our pupils also do work from Manchester Healthy Schools www.manchesterhealthyschools.nhs.uk

Implementation:

At Key Stage 1 and 2, PSHE is taught through a clear and comprehensive scheme of work in line with the National Curriculum. We ensure we cover the Health and Well-Being, Relationships and Living in the Wider World Learning Opportunities set out in the PSHE Association’s Programme of Study, which comprehensively cover the statutory Health Education and Relationships Education guidance. There is a strong emphasis on emotional Literacy, building resilience and nurturing mental and physical health.

Impact:

As a result of our inclusive and diverse PSHE curriculum, children know that everyone is unique and learn how to respect the needs of themselves and others. Through collaborative work, the children understand how to work towards shared goals and how to respectively listen and appreciate other's points of view. Our pupils know about health and wellbeing and how to make healthy choices in life. They understand about growing, changing and becoming more independent. Through whole-schools events and opportunities, they know what it means to be part of a community and contribute to living in the wider world. By the time our pupils leave Wilbraham Primary School, they have developed a range of skills and strategies to live healthy, safe, fulfilling, responsible and balanced lives.
