“You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.”
Christopher Robin
Topics included are as follows:
- Families and Friendships
- Safe Relationships
- Respecting Ourselves and Others
- Belonging to a Community
- Media Literacy and Digital Resilience
- Finance and Employment
- Physical Health and Mental Wellbeing
- Growing and Changing
- Keeping Safe
Learning is contextualised and made relevant to the needs of our children. In addition to the PSHE Association planning, our Year 5 and 6 pupils take part in a local ‘Healthy School Questionnaire’ conducted by the Local Relationships and Sexual Health Advisor. This enables us to tailor the curriculum to meet the individual needs of our children.
All learning activities provide an opportunity for pupils to develop their skills, knowledge and attitude. We never underestimate the impact that debate, discussion; practising using language and talking about feelings can have in developing key skills for the future.
