Subject Leader Curriculum Intent, Implementation and Impact Overview - PSHE
‘Every child has an enquiring mind about the world and their place in it.'
Research shows that children who are emotionally healthy do better at school. At Sherwood Park we recognise the importance of this and strive to achieve this through our PSHE curriculum. Our PSHE curriculum helps our children to achieve their potential by supporting their wellbeing and tackling issues that can affect their ability to learn, such as anxiety and friendships.
Intent
- To promote the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils in order to prepare them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences in later life.
- British Values - the importance of our world, their own role within the world and how it should be treated
- To build on prior knowledge about the world around them and their place in it
- To encourage healthier lifestyles – promoting exercise
- To encourage healthy mental well-being
- Developing school values e.g. Resilience, responsibility, relationships and respect
- To fully embed protected characteristics across the whole school
- To celebrate difference and diversity in our school community
Implementation
- Sherwood Park’s PSHE scheme of work will ensure that the key areas of PSHE education are covered throughout the primary phase and in preparation for secondary school. This could be evident in various ways:
- A cycle of PSHE lessons on each theme across the school
- Circle time across the school
- Our termly “this is me assembly”
- Our weekly celebration assemblies
- Links made (where possible) in other areas of the curriculum including RE, English and Maths etc
Implementation
- Develop the knowledge, skills and attributes our children need to manage their lives now and, in the future
- Skills gained will help our pupils to stay healthy, safe and prepare them for life and work
- Equip our children with the skills needed throughout later life
- Develop skills and aptitudes such as teamwork, communication and resilience which are crucial to face challenges and opportunities of our ever-changing society
- More children will achieve age related expectations and reach their full potential across the school
- Skills developed during PSHE continues in the classroom (and during playtimes) resulting in children’s confidence and self-esteem raised
