INTENT:
The intention of the PSHE curriculum at All Saints Primary is that by nurturing hearts and inspiring minds children develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that they need to effectively navigate the complexities of life in the 21st Century . Our curriculum covers key areas which will support children to make informed choices now and in the future around their health, safety, wellbeing, relationships, and financial matters and will support them in becoming confident individuals and active members of society.
IMPLEMENTATION:
Our PSHE curriculum is a whole school approach that consists of three areas of learning in EYFS: Reception (to match the EYFS Personal, social and emotional development prime area) and five areas of learning across Key stages 1 and 2.
EYFS:
● Self-regulation
● Building relationships
● Managing self
Key stage 1 and 2:
● Families and relationships
● Health and wellbeing
● Safety and the changing body
● Citizenship
● Economic wellbeing
Each area is revisited to allow children to build on prior learning. The lessons also provide a progressive programme.
The lessons are based upon the statutory requirements for Relationships and Health education, but where our lessons go beyond these requirements (primarily in the Citizenship and Economic wellbeing areas) they refer to the PSHE Association Programme of Study which is recommended by the DfE. Sex education has been included in line with the DfE recommendations and is covered in Year 6 of our scheme. Our PSHE curriculum supports the requirements of the Equality Act through direct teaching, for example learning about different families, the negative effect of stereotypes and celebrating differences, in addition to the inclusion of diverse teaching resources throughout the lessons.
All year groups have explicit weekly PSHE lessons which along with our spirituality, R.E. school values, british values, stormbreaks and our local/national and world links form a thread which is evident in all aspects of school life.
IMPACT:
The expected impact of our PSHE curriculum is that once taught the full series of lessons, children will have met the objectives set out within the Relationships and Health Education statutory guidance and can utilise their learning within their daily lives, from dealing with friendship issues to resilience to making healthy choices and knowing where and how to get help when needed.
The impact of our PSHE learning is monitored continuously through formative assessment whereas summative assessment is used at the end of every half term by the class teacher against our key PSHE Learning objectives. These objectives are fully in line with the Learning Outcomes and Core Themes outlined in the PSHE Association Programme of Study. Pupils are assessed against these objectives every half term. This is monitored by the subject leader, the senior leadership and the School Development Group.
