HEALTHY MINDS (PSHE) at Marsh Gibbon CE School
INTENT
“PSHE education gives pupils the knowledge, skills, and attributes they need to keep themselves healthy and safe and to prepare them for life and work in modern Britain…. When taught well, PSHE education helps pupils to achieve their academic potential, and leave school equipped with skills they will need throughout later life.”
We aim to provide high quality Healthy Minds (PSHE) provision that will support pupils to develop life skills which will enable them to manage change, make healthy and safe choices, build character and be resilient, reflective and responsible members of society.
Our Healthy Minds (PSHE) provision has been designed to be age appropriate, whilst being sensitive to the needs of our whole school community to ensure PSHE provision gives our pupils an education which will support them both now and in the future.
Our Healthy Minds (PSHE) provision extends beyond the curriculum and includes themed days / weeks, assemblies and fully supports our school’s ethos and values. Healthy Minds (PSHE) is part of our school’s broad and balanced curriculum supporting spiritual, moral, cultural, social and cultural education, citizenship, equalities, and safeguarding.
The personal, social, health and economic development of our pupils is a vital element of education and we aim to work collaboratively with parents/ carers to ensure our children are well informed and supported to make healthy, safe and positive choices in all aspects of their daily lives.
IMPLEMENTATION
At Marsh Gibbon CE Primary School we offer a comprehensive Programme for Primary PSHE including statutory Relationships and Health Education, in a spiral, progressive and fully planned scheme of work, giving children relevant learning experiences to help them navigate their world and to develop positive relationships with themselves and others.
We have the same high expectations of the quality of pupils’ work in these subjects as for other curriculum areas. A strong curriculum will build on the knowledge pupils have previously acquired, including in other subjects, with regular feedback provided on pupil progress.
Lessons are planned to ensure that pupils of differing abilities, including the most able, are suitably challenged. Teaching is assessed and assessments used to identify where pupils need extra support or intervention.
IMPACT
If PSHE is taught well, children will understand and value how they fit into and contribute to the world.
