PSHE

PSHE (Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education) teaches children to acquire the knowledge, understanding and skills they need to successfully manage their lives – now and in the future. PSHE Education develops the qualities and attributes to support our children to become independent, healthy, confident and responsible members of society.

We teach PSHE following the national curriculum which ensures we aim to support children intellectually, socially, morally and spiritually.

The 2014 National Curriculum for PSHE aims to ensure that:

● British Values are promoted and understood by all.

● We develop children’s and young peoples’ understanding of how to stay healthy and safe, while preparing them to make the most of life and work.

● We develop the knowledge, skills and attributes children need to manage their lives, now and in the future.

Curriculum overview

From September 2020, all primary schools are required by the government to teach Relationships and Health Education as part of their Personal, Social, Health, and Economic (PSHE) curriculum.  You can find further government guidance relating to this here.

It has been created to help children have positive and safe relationships with anyone they might come into contact with including family, friends, and people online. It will help children make good decisions about their health and wellbeing and enable them to know how and where to seek support if any health issues arise for themselves or others.
