Personal, Social, Health and Citizenship Education (PSHCE)

We follow the aims of the Soke curriculum along with our own based on our PSHCE scheme. The trust aims that overlay our own are:

Identify what we have chosen to teach and why
Help pupils link new and prior learning
Make learning accessible for all pupils including those who have SEND
Identify key vocabulary for each subject and incorporate them into every unit of study
Develop children’s cultural capital

The aims of our specific PSHCE curriculum are:

To develop children’s knowledge and skills to be safe and healthy physically, mentally and online.
To understand what makes a healthy relationship
To teach strategies for dealing with situations.
To develop tolerance and respect for themselves and others
To become responsible for their own actions
To enhance skills for communication, empathy and healthy relationships which underpin both success in learning and positive relationships
To support the development of resilience, self-esteem, self-efficacy and aspiration
To offer accurate and relevant knowledge to support decisions about personal wellbeing and health
To explore the relevance of knowledge for personal situations and decision making
To offer opportunities to explore, clarify and if necessary challenge, their own and others’ values, attitudes, beliefs, rights and responsibilities
To offer the skills and strategies they need in order to live healthy, safe, fulfilling, responsible and balanced lives.
