The main focus of the PSHE subject leaders’ group is to ensure that the children receive a curriculum which develops the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to thrive as individuals, family members and members of society.
It ensures they understand the importance of their sense of belonging in our school, the community and the wider world. We use the Cambridgeshire scheme along with other resources from GHLL (Gloucestershire Healthy Living and Learning) for the children to explore topics about themselves and relationships, healthy lifestyles, citizenship and economic well-being.
We provide our children with opportunities to learn about rights and responsibilities and to appreciate what it means to belong to a diverse society. We also aim to give them skills to succeed in life by supporting their well-being and mental health.
With this in mind, each year we run a ‘healthy schools week’ with a number of activities which focus on healthy lifestyles and we have well-being days where the children have fun taking part in activities learning about the importance of good mental health.
We also are fully supportive of developing our children’s wider personal development.
