PSHE Curriculum Intent

We want all of our pupils to become healthy, independent, kind and responsible members of society and to become increasingly aware of their own emotional and social growth. These skills will give them confidence to tackle many of the moral, social and cultural issues that are part their everyday lives.

Our PSHE curriculum is also supported by our school values (Respectful, Responsible, Reciprocal, Resilient, Reflective & Resourceful) and our Peer Mediation scheme.

Why is PSHE important?

PSHE is important because it:

Supports children and young people's safety and protection — online and offline
Supports mental and physical health and well-being, encouraging individual responsibility for staying fit and healthy and developing essential emergency life-saving skills
Supports academic attainment by addressing barriers that prevent children and young people from learning
Reduces the risks of drug and alcohol misuse and addictive behaviours
Improves employability and chances of career success by developing the personal and social skills demanded by commerce and industry, such as communication skills, personal responsibility and confidence.

What is the school's curriculum for PSHE?

South Green Juniors uses the EC Publishing curriculum to teach PSHE and RSHE. We have adapted the scheme to include additional units of work on understanding and improving mental health and also protective behaviours, to meet the specific needs of our pupils.

Please see the Scheme of Work Overview below, showing which units of work are covered:

A lesson a week with the teaching resources included, helps teachers to focus on tailoring the lessons to their children’s needs and to enjoy building the relationship with their class, getting to know them better as unique human beings.

Teaching strategies are varied and are mindful of preferred learning styles and the need for differentiation.
