At the heart of our PSHE education is a desire to empower children to learn effectively now and to improve life chances later. We help children to develop personal awareness so that they can observe their own thoughts and feelings, regulate them and begin to make conscious decisions about their learning, their behaviour and their lives. We aim to support children in developing emotional resilience and a sense of well-being, learning about friendship, relationships, family values, change, healthy food, the value of exercise, how to celebrate differences and how to create and achieve dreams and goals. The curriculum has also been updated to follow the new guidelines from the Department for Education regarding the teaching of Sex and Relationship Education (SRE) appropriately across school.
We use the Jigsaw PSHE scheme which is designed as a whole school approach, with all year groups working on the same theme at the same time. Learning is developmental and progressive. Jigsaw offers creative learning activities which include specially composed songs, themes for assemblies, weekly celebrations, circle times and games.
