Intent
At Morven Park Primary School we see Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHE) as being at the centre of all that we do. Through our curriculum, our school environment and our school ethos, our intent is to promote pupils’ self-esteem and emotional well-being and help them to form and maintain worthwhile and satisfying relationships, based on respect for themselves and for others, at home, at school, at work and in the community. As a result of this they will become healthy, independent and responsible members of a society who understand how they are developing personally and socially, and give them confidence to tackle many of the moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up. We provide our children with opportunities for them to learn about rights and responsibilities and appreciate what it means to be a member of a diverse society. Our children are encouraged to develop their sense of self-worth by playing a positive role in contributing to school life and the wider community.
Implementation
The PSHE curriculum has 3 core themes: Health and Wellbeing, Relationships and Living in the Wider World. It also incorporates the RSE policy and identifies links to British Values, Cultural Capital and SMSC into the curriculum. PSHE will be lived throughout school, not just taught. All subjects make a link to PSHE, British Values, SMSC and the language is used consistently by all staff in school. Displays throughout school will reinforce these core themes and key values and encourage children to make links with the curriculum. Whole school, Key Stage and class assemblies always make a link to PSHE, British Values and SMSC and current local and global issues.
Impact
Children will know more and remember more about PSHE and be able to draw upon their lessons and assemblies when dealing with difficult situations and decisions in life. Children will recognise and apply the British Values of Democracy, Tolerance, Mutual respect and Rule of Law. Children will demonstrate a healthy outlook towards school and behaviour will be good.
