PSHE

At Valley Invicta Primary School at Aylesford, personal, social and health education (PSHE) enables our children to become healthy, independent and responsible members of a society. It aims to help them understand how they are developing personally and socially, and tackles many of the moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up. We provide our children with opportunities for them to learn about rights and responsibilities and appreciate what it means to be a member of a diverse society. Our children are encouraged to develop their sense of self-worth by playing a positive role in contributing to school life and the wider community.

Curriculum Intent, Implementation and Impact

Intent

To build a PSHE curriculum, which develops learning and results in the acquisition of knowledge and skills which enables children to access the wider curriculum and to prepare children to be a global citizen now and in their future roles within a global community.
Children will know more, remember more and understand more.

To design a curriculum with appropriate subject knowledge, skills and understanding to fulfil the duties of the NC whereby schools must provide a ‘balanced and broadly-based curriculum which promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils and prepares them for the opportunities and responsibilities and experiences for later life.

To build a PSHE curriculum that incorporates the understanding of RSE so that children know more, remember more and understand more. As a result children will know how to be safe and to understand and develop healthy relationships both now and in their future lives.
To design, and resource, an RSE programme of work within the PSHE curriculum which enables pupils to explore the complexity of the relationships they will have both now and throughout their lives.

Implementation

Clear and comprehensive scheme of work in line with the National Curriculum.

The PSHE curriculum has three core learning themes: health and wellbeing, relationships and living in the wider world. It also incorporates the RSE policy and SOW and identifies links to British Values, Cultural Capital, SMSC and schools Key skills into the curriculum.

Knowledge Organisers

Children have access to key knowledge, language and meanings to understand PSHE and to use across the curriculum.

PSHE Focused displays

PSHE displays throughout school focus on key aspects of PSHE and exemplify the terminology used throughout the teaching of PSHE, BV and SMSC, which enables pupils to make links across the wider curriculum. PSHE, BV and SMSC displays throughout school reinforce the PSHE curriculum enabling children to make links.

Wider Curriculum

All subjects make a link to PSHE, BV, SMSC and the language is used consistently by all staff.

Assemblies

Whole school, Key Stage and class assemblies always make a link to PSHE, British Values and SMSC.

Clear and comprehensive RSE scheme of work within PSHE in line with the new recommendations of teaching RSE in National Curriculum (Feb 2019)

The teaching and learning of RSE is planned explicitly within each year group so that children know more, remember more and understand more.

RSE programme of work is explicitly resourced.

Children will become more aware of RSE and know the purpose of it.

Parent Consultation

Parents are informed of the content of the RSE programme of work during the class transition meetings, planned information sessions, and further support / clarification will be given if required.

Impact

  • Children will know more and remember more about PSHE.
  • Children will recognise and apply the British Values of Democracy, Tolerance, Mutual respect, Rule of law and Liberty.
  • Children will demonstrate a healthy outlook towards school – attendance will be at least in-line with national and behaviour will be good.
  • The large majority of children will achieve age related expectations across the wider curriculum in addition to the core subjects.
  • Children will develop positive and healthy relationship with their peers both now and in the future.
  • Children will understand the physical aspects involved in RSE at an age appropriate level.
  • Children will have respect for themselves and others.
  • Children will have positive body images.
