Curriculum Overview

Key Learning

 

 

The Intent of our PSHE Curriculum

Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education is a school subject through which we intend our pupils to develop the knowledge, skills and attributes they

need to manage their lives, now and in the future. It aims to help children and young people to stay healthy and safe, while preparing them to make the most

of life and work.

Most of PSHE education became statutory for all schools in 2020 under the Children and Social Work Act 2017. This includes

Human Relationships Education at key stages 1 and 2 (HRE)

 

The Implementation of our PSHE Curriculum

At the Cathedral Primary School PSHE is taught in three strands using resources from the PSHE Association

CORE THEME 1: HEALTH AND WELLBEING – including work on healthy lifestyles, mental wellbeing, growing and changing and keeping safe. Kidsafe is also used in Year 3 and the language of Kidsafe is used throughout the school.

 

CORE THEME 2: RELATIONSHIPS - including Statutory HRE taught through the scheme ‘A Journey in Love’ which is approved by Lancaster Diocese, friendship, families and positive relationships, respect for self and others and bullying.

 

CORE THEME 3: LIVING IN THE WIDER WORLD – including work on shared responsibilities, communities, digital resilience, economic wellbeing, aspirations for work and careers.

 

As well as covering all statutory elements of PSHE, we expand our PSHE teaching to cover areas that are of particular relevance to the needs of the children at our school. The curriculum is enriched by themed weeks and external visitors.

 

The Impact of our PSHE Curriculum

As a result of our PSHE teaching, we produce children who have a well rounded understanding of the world around them and their place in it. Our children are prepared to play an active part in our school and local community. We produce children who know how to keep themselves safe, and know what to do when things go wrong. All children know to speak out about abuse and can identify and name trusted adults they are able to speak to. Our children are able to build healthy relationships and know how to recognise bullying and what to do about it. As a result of this our school has a culture of inclusivity where all children can feel safe.
