PSHE

"The final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands." - Anne Frank

At Chandos, PSHE is taught as part of a wider, rich and balanced curriculum. It has dedicated lesson time as well as having the key themes and messages woven throughout school life. It is embedded into our school ethos and values.

Through these lessons and values, our pupils develop the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to manage their lives, now and in the future. We aim to help children to stay healthy and safe, whilst also preparing them to make the most of life and work. Every child, regardless of gender, race or ability will have equal access to the PSHE Curriculum. We aim to provide for all children so that they can achieve their best according to their individual needs, whether they need addition support or more challenge.

CURRICULUM INTENT

At Chandos we:

Create successful, effective learners who understand and value scholarship and education
Create competent, critical thinkers who can challenge and develop ideas
Create effective communicators of our share beliefs, values and learning
Create tolerant and respectful global citizens who have an understanding and knowledge of our local, national and global communities

CURRICULUM IMPLEMENTATION

At Chandos, we follow the Mental Wellbeing SCARF programme of study, which is a whole school approach covering the comprehensive and broad knowledge and skills that the children are required to learn.

PSHE is an important part of our school assemblies, where children's spiritual, moral, social and cultural curiosity is stimulated, challenged and nurtured.

EARLY YEARS

The Early Years Curriculum ensures that children gain a solid understanding of managing themselves and building relationships. Throughout their time in Early Years, children are given the opportunity to share, take turns and be involved in discussions as part of circle time.

YEARLY OVERVIEWS

At Chandos, we believe that PSHE plays a vital role in primary education and should be taught every week. This can be by teaching a theme explicitly or by weaving it into learning that the children are already doing and making it a cross curricular learning experience. We jump at the opportunity to make these links, especially when presented by children asking questions about their local community; events happening in the world around them; or whenever a situation naturally arises in the classroom to teach PSHE.

Each class has a PSHE floorbook which follows them throughout school.

Relationship, Health Education is woven throughout this curriculum. If you would like to discuss this further, please speak to Miss Smith or a member of the leadership team.

CURRICULUM IMPACT

At Chandos, we aim to equip our children for their futures in a world that is constantly changing and adapting. Through their PSHE lessons, children will develop their understanding of the world that we live in and confidently ask questions about things they do not understand. Children will be given the opportunity for discussion and debate where they will be encouraged to take on different responsibilities and to kindly challenge ideas they do not agree with, giving reasons for this.

Ultimately, we want to have given our children the skills that they need to make a difference in the world.

By talking to children, it will be evident that this is the case.
