Curriculum Intent
The children in our school deserve health, happiness and safety. We have designed our PSHE curriculum with this in mind, and we aim to provide opportunities for our children so they grow into independent and respectful members of society. Our Trust Virtues of honesty, respect, self-belief, confidence, resilience, justice, responsibility and compassion underpin our PSHE curriculum.
Implementation
Weekly PSHE lessons are delivered in all classes. The sequence of lessons can depend on the demographics in the class and the importance of what our children need, in terms of learning about their personal, social and emotional well-being, is paramount. Teachers use cross-curricular links from all subjects to plan and deliver thoughtful and poignant lessons. We aim to ensure that all children have the opportunity to express themselves, talk about relevant matters and learn without judgement. We ensure that our children have a voice with regular school council meetings and learning walks. When delivering SRE, our priority is ensuring that all parents understand and can support their children at home, in the hope of extending and building on the learning children do at school. Parents are consulted on and have a voice in how and what their children learn.
Impact
Pupils will have the knowledge and skills to make informed decisions about their well-being, health and relationships. PSHE learning at St Bega’s will have helped pupils to develop spiritually, morally, socially and culturally. Pupils’ mental and physical development from PSHE learning will ensure that when pupils leave our school they will have the ability to embrace the challenges of creating a happy and successful life which will take them into their teenage years and throughout adulthood.
Their PSHE evidence in books will demonstrate a broad and balanced PSHE curriculum and demonstrate the pupil’s acquisition of key knowledge. The majority of pupils will achieve age related expectations in PSHE and clear progress will be evident in their science and RE books. From this, they will have firm foundations in PSHE and are well placed to make good progress at Key Stage 3.
