Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education
Our PSHE curriculum is designed to support the holistic development of every child. It fosters positive relationships, promotes emotional wellbeing, and prepares pupils for their future lives. By equipping children and young people with the knowledge and skills to navigate the world, we enable them to lead happier, healthier, and more empowered lives.
Integration Across School Life
PSHE learning extends beyond the classroom, forming an integral part of the wider school experience. Concepts and skills are embedded throughout assemblies, sports council activities, forest school, and a diverse range of extracurricular opportunities. This whole-school approach highlights the relevance of PSHE in everyday life and reinforces its importance in a variety of contexts.
Partnerships with Parents and Community
We place great emphasis on working collaboratively with parents and the wider community to enhance PSHE learning. Parents are encouraged to participate through workshops and information sessions covering key PSHE topics. Additionally, we work with external agencies, including local health professionals and community organisations, to broaden and enrich our provision. This ensures a cohesive, supportive approach to PSHE both within the school and beyond.
Impact on Pupils
Pupils gain a strong understanding of themselves and others, develop skills to manage emotions and relationships, and learn to make informed decisions. This results in improved self-confidence, resilience, and a sense of belonging. Pupils demonstrate empathy, respect, and positive attitudes toward learning, alongside essential life skills to thrive in an ever-changing world.
Promoting Wellbeing for All Pupils
Through our high-quality PSHE provision, we cultivate a nurturing and inclusive environment where pupils can flourish. They are supported to become well-rounded citizens, equipped with the tools and confidence needed for life beyond school.
We are proud recipients of the Wellbeing Award for Schools, recognising our commitment to pupil mental health, emotional wellbeing, and personal development. The award reflects our whole-school approach, where wellbeing is embedded across lessons, school life, and extracurricular activities. Through initiatives such as pastoral support, wellbeing workshops and pupil voice opportunities, we create a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment where every child feels valued, empowered, and able to thrive.
