INTENT

At North Frodingham Primary School we believe that successful PSHE education can have a positive impact on the whole child, including their academic development and progress, by mitigating any social and emotional barriers to learning and building confidence and self-esteem.

Evidence suggests that successful PSHE education also helps disadvantaged and vulnerable children achieve to a greater extent by raising aspirations and empowering them with skills to overcome barriers they face.
Our PSHE scheme of work is planned to enable us to achieve a whole-school approach to positively, impact wellbeing, safeguarding and SMSC outcomes.

Ensuring that all children can develop the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to succeed at school and in the wider world.

 

IMPLEMENTATION

PSHE lessons are planned in units as part of a themed approach and stand-alone sessions.

We use the PSHE Association Programme of Study for PSHE Education (Jan 2020) as our starting point alongside the Twinkl Life PSHE and Citizenship education scheme of work throughout school years 1 to 6. This scheme of work and all of its resources have been produced to be fully in line with the Learning Outcomes and Core Themes outlined in the 2020 PSHE Association Programme of Study .

The EYFS work to the standards in the PSED area of their curriculum, details of which can be found in the curriculum policy.

A progression of skills has been mapped for each key stage and is used to ensure that children have opportunities to improve their work, revisit themes and topics and progress further.

Revisiting key themes enables children to reflect, evaluate and consolidate their thinking.

The school takes every opportunity to celebrate key events in PSHE; including national, local and significant school events. Each year the school choses a charity to support to further develop compassion and empathy.

 

IMPACT

Our PSHE work aims to equip children with essential skills for life. It aims to develop the whole child through carefully planned and resourced lessons that develop the knowledge, skills and attributes children need to protect and enhance their wellbeing.

Children will learn how to stay safe and healthy, build and maintain successful relationships and become active citizens, responsibly participating in society around them.

A successful PSHE curriculum is a vital tool in preparing children for life in society now and in the future.

EARLY YEARS

In the Early Years Foundation Unit, the following applies to the children’s learning

Personal, Social and Emotional Development

Children’s personal, social and emotional development (PSED) is crucial for children to lead healthy and happy lives, and is fundamental to their cognitive development. Underpinning their personal development are the important attachments that shape their social world. Strong, warm and supportive relationships with adults enable children to learn how to understand their own feelings and those of others. Children should be supported to manage emotions, develop a positive sense of self, set themselves simple goals, have confidence in their own abilities, to persist and wait for what they want and direct attention as necessary. Through adult modelling and guidance, they will learn how to look after their bodies, including healthy eating, and manage personal needs independently. Through supported interaction with other children, they learn how to make good friendships, co-operate and resolve conflicts peaceably. These attributes will provide a secure platform from which children can achieve at school and in later life.

-Show an understanding of their own feelings and those of others, and begin to regulate their behaviour accordingly;
