PSHCE

What is PSHE?

PSHE (Personal, Social, Health, Economic) is part of our curriculum that supports children to understand themselves and those around them. It helps children develop skills and knowledge to keep themselves safe and lead happy, full lives and is embedded across the whole school culture.

At Byron Primary School we use The Story Project to teach the PSHE curriculum. This means that your child will be learning wellbeing skills as well as practicing important literacy skills and fostering a love of reading.

Using books to teach this is a proven way to promote open conversations; children learn through the eyes of the characters in the books. This makes complicated themes easy to understand and helps children understand other people’s viewpoints.

Intention (Why do we teach what we teach?)

We have designed our PSHE curriculum so that our learners:

· Develop themselves intellectually, morally, socially and spiritually

· Acquire the skills, knowledge and attributes they need to keep themselves physically and emotionally healthy and safe

· Flourish regardless of background, ability or additional needs, to become the very best version of themselves they can possibly be

· Possess a strong understanding of the diverse world around them and are supported in playing a positive role in contributing to an ever-changing society.

· Acquire the curiosity and confidence to question, challenge and reflect

Implementation (How do we teach it?)

Our PSHE curriculum is taught:

· Covering the six PSHE core themes of –

Being a good friend.

Celebrating families.

Looking after my body and mind.

Keeping safe.

Becoming a Global Citizen.

Growing Up.

· Taught through weekly lessons that follow the statutory curriculum alongside non-statutory elements.

· Children build on key knowledge, language and meanings in order to understand PSHE and use these across the wider curriculum.

· Children will become healthy and responsible members of society, equipped with the knowledge and skills to make the right choices in society, alongside demonstrating and applying the British Values of Democracy, Tolerance, Mutual Respect, Rule of Law and Liberty

Impact (What has been the impact and how do we know?)

The impact of the PSHE curriculum at Byron Primary School can be seen through:

· Our children are healthy and responsible members of society, equipped with the knowledge and skills to make the right choices in society.

· Our children display a healthy and positive outlook towards school and their learning and have developed the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to succeed at school and in the wider world.

· Our children have developed the vocabulary and confidence needed to clearly articulate their thoughts and feelings in a climate of openness, trust and respect, and know when and how they can seek the support of others.

· Our children possess the skills to evaluate and understand their own wellbeing needs, practise self-care and contribute positively to the wellbeing of those around them.
