PSHE
Intent
Through a safe and supportive learning environment our PSHE curriculum will promote the needs and interests of all pupils, irrespective of gender, culture, ability or personal circumstance through quality first teaching, the use of recognised and DfE approved resources and effective communication between all adults and children. Teaching will take into account the age, ability, readiness, and cultural backgrounds of children, including those with English as an additional language, to ensure that all can fully access PSHE provision.
Relationships Education will be taught as part of our broader PSHE curriculum. This way pupils can develop the necessary skills, knowledge and personal attributes as part of a planned programme of regular lessons that also addresses related factors such as media literacy; drugs and alcohol; equality and prejudice and health.

Implementation
We use a thematic approach when delivering PHSE in line with the National Curriculum. The PSHE curriculum has three core learning themes: health and wellbeing, relationships and living in the wider world. It also incorporates the RSE policy, whilst the schemes of work identify links to British Values, Cultural Capital, SMSC and the schools aims of respect, responsibility and resilience. In addition, all subjects taught through Cornerstones make links to PSHE, FBV, SMSC. We use PSHE association materials and a variety of resources such as 1 Decision, Cornerstones and FPA. Pupils use self-assessment materials, discussion and decision videos.
Impact
At the end of each unit, the children’s learning is assessed against their initial self- assessment and opportunities are given to reflect on their learning and its implications for their lives.
Children will recognise and apply the Fundamental British Values of Democracy, Tolerance, Mutual Respect, Rule of Law and Liberty. They will demonstrate the school’s values of respect, responsibility and resilience and develop a positive attitude to school and the wider community, enabling them at the end of each Keystage to be ready to progress to their next developmental step.
