PSHE

PSHE is a vital part of the curriculum here at Caldmore and is designed to provide the children with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in their community (and wider world), navigate their lives effectively and become healthy, independent and responsible individuals who understand the rights they have.

Intent

PSHE aims to:

• Support children’s mental and physical health by helping them understand what a healthy lifestyle is, how to maintain it and what strategies can be used to improve their health if needed.
• Improve social skills by providing children with the skills and confidence they need to thrive and stay safe in their community and the wider world.
• Develop social skills by encouraging students to build positive relationships, respect others and treat everyone equally and understand social “norms” (e.g. acceptable behaviour)
• Prepare children for life and work by equipping pupils with essential life skills such as decision-making, problem solving, co-operation and financial literacy (understanding of future employment).
• Encourage personal responsibility and resilience by helping children understand how to be safe, make sensible choices and understand consequences of their actions.
• Build a strong understanding of healthy relationships including friendships and boyfriends/girlfriends and consent.

Implementation 

At Caldmore, we use Jigsaw to deliver our PSHE curriculum.

We have 3 half terms dedicated to PSHE where we deliver the topics:

• Being Me in My World
• Dreams and Goals
• Relationships

We also drip feed knowledge into learning through Votes for Schools, Healthy Body Healthy Mind days and themed days such anti-bulling, disability awareness, comic relief etc…

Please see overviews of these below for more information of what each year group learns.
