Intent:

• Value themselves and others
• Be responsible
• Become resilient

• Prepare for life and work

Curriculum Aims:

PSHE aims to give children the knowledge, skills and understanding to lead confident, healthy and independent lives.

Implementation:

At Furness Primary School, our PSHE curriculum is designed to meet the needs of our pupils ensuring our curriculum intentions are met. We do this through;

The Plan Bee scheme and Kapow resources are a whole school approach that consists of 3 areas of learning in EYFS (to match the EYFS PSED prime area)

• Self-regulation
• Building relationships
• Managing self

And 5 areas of learning across KS1 and 2:

• Families and Relationships
• Health and Wellbeing
• Safety and the changing body
• Citizenship
• Economic Wellbeing

Impact:

• Demonstrate kindness and respect for themselves and others
• Gain courage to try new things, challenge themselves and persevere
• Take responsibility for their action
• Have good understanding on keeping themselves safe and develop good relationships
• Have an appreciation of what it means to be a positivie member of the diverse, multicultural society
• Demonstrate and apply the British Values
• Preparing for life and work

PSHE across the school:

Children are engaged in weekly assemblies where there is always a moral to which the children are taught and given an opportunity for self-reflection. The assemblies always make links to the PRIDE charter, British Values and the children’s Rights and Responsibilities. They are given certificates and are praised and valued for their effort and work throughout the week. The children are then engaged in a moment of reflection where they are challenged to help support their Growth Mindset.

Within the school we have Place2Be. Place2Be is an important asset as it provides support for Mental and emotional well-being in school for both children and families through various channels, such as: Place2Talk, One to One Counselling, Group work and parent counselling. Place2Be also offer the children the opportunity to ‘self-refer’, thus given the children the ownership of their well-being.

Cross-Circular:

PSHE is taught across the curriculum,

In Science, PSHE works alongside the National Curriculum. It states that pupils must be taught about puberty and how their bodies change.

In Geography, History and R.E embraces the ideas of diversity, respect for all and the British Values. In ICT, they discuss the rule and safety of the internet.
