PSHE INTENT STATEMENT
Intent: PSHE enables our children to become healthy, independent and responsible members of society. It aims to help them understand how they are developing personally and socially, and tackles many of the moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up. We provide our children with opportunities for them to learn about rights and responsibilities and appreciate what it means to be a member of a diverse society. Our children are encouraged to develop their sense of self-worth by playing a positive role in contributing to school life and the wider community.
Our PSHE scheme is regularly reviewed to ensure that it is relevant and up to date with current legislation. Children have weekly PSHE lessons, as well as the values of these lessons being core factors in all areas of the curriculum and school life.
Our PSHE curriculum is in line with the new RSHE government framework (2019). The curriculum is adapted and delivered to children in an age-appropriate way. The updated scheme of work was finalised, following a parent partnership meeting, where we time-lined the framework objectives and discussed the age-appropriateness of them.
The RSHE policy was finalised in another parent partnership meeting, where parents views were sought and amendments made following lots of positive discussion. The draft and final policy was shared with all parents via parentmail, to enable all parents the opportunity to contribute.
