PSHE and Wellbeing

The aim of the PSHE and Wellbeing curriculum is to promote the holistic development and well-being of all our students. Our curriculum has been thoughtfully designed, sequenced, and planned using the resources from 'Think Equal' for Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), 'One Decision' for Key Stage 1 (KS1) and Key Stage 2 (KS2), and the work of Adrian Bethune in 'Wellbeing in the Primary Classroom'. Throughout the year, each class focuses on fostering teamwork by developing a class tribe.

Our curriculum provides opportunities for age-appropriate reflections that can be applied to real-life situations. Our aim is to create a supportive learning environment that encourages open discussions, resilience, respect for diverse viewpoints, and equips children with the necessary tools to manage their own well-being in real-life scenarios.

Regular feedback and self-reflection are facilitated through emotional toolkits, class discussions, drama exercises, and reflection sheets linked to our key questions. These methods help our staff monitor and identify areas for further development.

Our SRE learning ensures that children receive accurate and age-appropriate information, develop healthy relationships, and acquire the skills necessary to make informed decisions about their well-being. Through discussion, we foster a safe and inclusive learning environment, promoting mutual respect, empathy, and understanding.  The resources used promote positive body image, self-esteem, and resilience amongst children.
