At Wellesbourne CE Primary School our PSHE Curriculum intends to enable children to develop the understanding, skills and qualities they need to manage their lives, now and in the future. It aims to help children understand how they are developing personally, socially and emotionally, whilst enabling them to understand and value how they fit in and contribute to Wellesbourne School and to wider society. Our PSHE learning equips children with relevant and meaningful content which is supported through a strong emphasis on emotional literacy, building resilience and nurturing children’s physical and mental health. It also allows us to consider the needs of individual children and support their needs.
Our children learn to understand and respect their similarities and differences, as well as celebrating diversity. Other aspects of PSHE, such as British values, are constantly worked on and intertwined across the curriculum and supported by our school rules and values.. Our children are given the opportunity to explore, clarify and challenge their own and others attitudes, beliefs, rights and responsibilities. During PSHE lessons the children will learn to recognise their own worth, work with others and become more responsible for their own learning and development. They will be able to reflect on their own experiences and understand how they are developing personally and socially, tackling many of the spiritual, moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up.
We aim to enable children to develop a deepening knowledge of their health and wellbeing, including their mental and physical health. Our Relationships and Sex Education equips children with the information, skills and values to understand, and to be able to cope with, the physical and emotional changes that happen to them. It also enables them to learn how to be safe and to understand and develop healthy relationships, both now and in their future lives. The skills that they learn within PSHE lessons support them to become life-long learners.
