PSHE

Intent

Our Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) curriculum is designed to teach children to become responsible, healthy, respectful, contributing, aspirational moral members of British society. Children’s personal and social development is interlinked in all areas of school life and our curriculum sets out the school’s vision to develop the whole child and their individual talents and teach them the skills they need to become active and economically self-sufficient citizens. 

Implementation:

PSHE at Whittingham underpins everything that we do. Our curriculum (the One Decision programme of study) is structured to include nine over-arching themes which run throughout the school:

• Keeping/Staying Safe
• Keeping/Staying Healthy
• Relationships (KS1)/Growing and Changing (KS2)
• Being Responsible
• Feelings and Emotions
• Computer Safety
• Our World (KS1)/The Working World (KS2)
• Hazard Watch (KS1)/ A World Without Judgement (KS2)
• Fire Safety (KS1)/First Aid (KS2)

Their intent is to provide children with tools to navigate their way through life and to be healthy, happy and successful citizens. 

Impact:

Our PSHE curriculum contributes to personal development by helping pupils to build their confidence, resilience and self-esteem, and to identify and manage risk, make informed choices and understand what influences their decisions. It enables them to: recognise, accept and shape their identities; understand and accommodate difference and change; manage emotions; and to communicate constructively in a variety of settings. Developing an understanding of themselves, empathy and the ability to work with others, will help pupils to form and maintain good relationships, to develop the essential skills for future employability and to better enjoy and manage their lives.
