INTENT

Our PSHCE curriculum has been developed to ensure that all pupils receive key messages relative to their age group. These aim to develop the necessary knowledge for safe choices and informed decisions to be made so that pupils are well-prepared for later life. Along with learning in this subject, we have aimed to bring a range of linked aspects under one umbrella, with pupils’ knowledge of British Values, issues pertaining to SMSC (spiritual, moral, social, and cultural development), wellbeing and essential safeguarding messages all woven together into the curriculum. 

IMPLEMENTATION

The curriculum works as a proactive, preventative approach that aims to combat negative issues before they arise. 

Years 1-6 will have a discrete weekly lesson. This should be timetabled to occur at the same time each week. The wider curriculum will encompass the following: a weekly wellbeing starter, focused PSHCEe and RSE lessons, awareness days, sessions that focus on diversity (No Outsiders curriculum), British Values and safeguarding links. Year group sessions will build on those from the previous year. 

Nursery will have a PSED theme for each half term and record ideas in floorbooks. Reception will have weekly focused input and record ideas in floorbooks.
