PSHE CURRICULUM STATEMENT
intent
At Five Elms Primary School our Personal Social Health and Economic (PSHE) curriculum provides children with the knowledge, skills, and attributes they need to keep themselves healthy and safe and to prepare them for life and work in modern Britain.
Implementation
Topics are regularly revisited through the key stages to ensure that understanding and skills are developed in an age-appropriate way. This enables children to grow in confidence when taking part in discussion, debates and when exploring current issues within PSHE education. PSHE has an impact on both academic and non-academic outcomes for children, particularly the most vulnerable and disadvantaged, therefore subject knowledge can be transferred across all areas of the curriculum.
Votes for School is a whole school initiative we use that allows us to make a difference in our school, local community, and the wider world. Weekly discussions promote the impact of pupil voice and highlight the importance of being informed, curious and heard.
Our PSHE curriculum explores the diverse beliefs, values and attitudes that individuals and societies hold. They help pupils to develop themselves, their understanding of the world, and their ability to communicate their feelings. PSHE helps children to acquire British values and attitudes, value themselves, respect others, appreciate differences and diversity and feel confident and informed.
Impact
Through PSHE, we believe we can enhance children’s education and help them become caring, respectful and confident individuals.
