PSHE is delivered through a comprehensive programme that includes statutory Relationships and Health Education, in a spiral and progressive scheme of work.
It consists of six half-term units of work delivered through weekly lessons, where each class from EYFS up to Year 6 will work on the same theme at the same time but at the appropriate age and level.
Autumn term 1a: Being Me in My World.
Autumn term 1b: Celebrating Difference including anti-bullying.
Spring term 2a: Dreams and Goals.
Spring term 2b: Healthy Me.
Summer term 3a: Relationships
Summer 3b: Changing Me including sex education in Milestone 3.
Each weekly session includes a connecting activity, calming exercise and a facilitated discussion to deepen understanding with then an opportunity for an extended activity.
The scheme content will be shared and updated annually with parents.
Prior to the ‘’Changing Me’ unit, parents will be informed of the content in each year group.

PSHE will enable our children to:

understand how they are developing personally and socially
be aware of the moral, social, and cultural issues that will challenge and support them growing up.
develop spirituality, aspiration, and motivation
understand how to be healthy, independent, and responsible members of society
be ready for the next stage in their life.
