Intent, Implementation and Impact of our PSHE curriculum
Intent
Our vision statement reflects our desire to provide the best possible education, opportunities and environment for all who are part of our school. We believe that our school should be an inclusive community where ALL aim high, achieve well and develop self-confidence, positive values and beliefs, a sense of community, well-being and caring attitudes towards others. PSHE is central to this ethos and equips children with the knowledge, skills and strategies to live healthy, safe and responsible lives.
Implementation
At Stratford upon Avon Primary School, we deliver a Primary PSHE scheme of work including statutory Relationships and Health Education called Jigsaw. Our PSHE curriculum covers all areas of the subject. One timetabled PSHE lesson per week is taught throughout the school. All children also attend a lesson of Relax Kids each week, which is an addition to our PSHE curriculum. PSHE is also intertwined through many cross-curricular subjects, including Science, Art and Design and RE, and we also embrace PSHE through our Stratford upon Avon Curriculum Pathways and weekly assemblies, where a range of themes are covered. We also have an established school council, a pupil Safeguarding Committee (Team Safe), joint activities between year groups such as our ‘Reading Buddies,’ Year 6 monitors and weekly 'In the News' topical questions for the children to reflect and ponder upon.
Impact
Monitoring and assessment is an on-going process. Teachers use ‘assessment for learning’ as to inform planning for future lessons.
