PSHE Vision:

Encourage pupils to develop the knowledge, skills, and attributes they need to keep themselves healthy and safe, and prepared for life and work in modern Britain.
PSHE is the lifelong learning about physical, moral, economic, cultural, social, and emotional development. It is about the understanding of the importance of stable and loving relationships, family, respect, love, and care.
Helps pupils to achieve their academic potential, and leave school equipped with skills they will need throughout later life, giving them all the skills needed to achieve their aspirations and ambitions.

Intent:

Build pupils key skills and attributes for life and work the non-academic skills and attributes acquired through PSHE education have a positive impact on academic performance and life chances as well as being key to boosting the employability of school-leavers and improving social mobility.
Educating pupils about their health reduces risk-taking behaviours such as drug or alcohol addiction and improves diet and exercise levels, in turn boosting long-term life chances.
Promote positive outcomes relating to emotional health while reducing stigma and helping pupils learn where to go if they have mental health concerns.
- Promoting positive mental health among pupils.
- Give pupils information on where to go if they are worried about their own mental health or that of a friend or family member.
- Reduce mental health stigma by teaching about the issue openly and honestly
- Provide an opportunity to learn about aspects such as the impact of personal financial choices, an understanding of risk and responsibility, about different types of work and the influence of the media on financial choices (e.g., in relation to gambling).
Challenge pupils on unhealthy and exploitative relationships, both to safeguard them from being abused and prevent them from engaging in abusive behaviours themselves as well as informing students about child safety online and offline.

Implementation:

Plan a programme which introduces new and more challenging learning, while building on what has gone before, which reflects and meets the personal developmental needs of children and young people.
Take a positive approach which does not attempt to induce shock or guilt but focuses on what children and young people can do to keep themselves and others healthy and safe and to lead happy and fulfilling lives.
Offer a wide variety of teaching and learning styles within PSHE education including external agency and organisation input, with an emphasis on interactive learning, responding to the needs of our learners.

Rationale from KS2 through to KS5

The PSHE curriculum addresses both pupils’ current experiences and preparation for their future. This Programme of Study therefore provides a spiral curriculum to develop knowledge, skills, and attributes, where prior learning is revisited, reinforced, and extended year on year.

During Key Stages 1 and 2, PSHE education offers both explicit and implicit learning opportunities and experiences which reflect pupils’ increasing independence and physical and social awareness, as they move through the primary phase. It builds on the skills that pupils started to acquire during the Early Years Foundation stage (EYFS) to develop effective relationships, assume greater personal responsibility and manage personal safety, including online. PSHE education helps pupils to manage the physical and emotional changes at puberty, introduces them to a wider world and enables them to make an active contribution to their communities.

At Key Stage 3, students build on the knowledge and understanding, skills, attributes, and values they have acquired and developed during the primary phase. PSHE education acknowledges and addresses the changes that young people experience, beginning with transition to secondary school, the challenges of adolescence and their increasing independence. It teaches the knowledge and skills which will equip them with the opportunities and challenges of life. Students learn to manage diverse relationships, their online lives, and the increasing influence of peers and the media.

At Key Stage 4, students deepen knowledge and understanding, extend and rehearse skills, and further explore attitudes, values and attributes acquired during Key Stage 3. PSHE education reflects the fact that students are moving towards an independent role in adult life, taking on greater responsibility for themselves and others.

At Key stage 5, the balance shifts towards teaching related to young people’s current experiences. The learning opportunities at Key Stage 5 assume that students have already covered those in Key Stage 4. This Key Stage represents the last opportunity to ensure that students have the knowledge and understanding, skills, strategies, and attributes they need for independent living and the next stage in their education or career.
