PSHE

Intent

PSHE is at the core of what we do at Holy Trinity CE Primary School, and enables our children to become independent, confident, healthy and responsible members of our community and society, as well as developing the “whole child” intellectually, morally, socially and spiritually.

Through our whole-school approach to PSHE, it is our belief that our aspiration for excellence in these areas will lead to excellence across the curriculum and foster love and understanding both within and beyond our community now and in later life.

Our PSHE curriculum is shaped by our school vision which aspires to enable all children in our community, regardless of background, ability and additional needs, to flourish to become the very best version of themselves they can possibly be. The curriculum design equips children with relevant and meaningful content, which is supported through a strong emphasis on emotional literacy, building resilience and nurturing mental and physical health. With an ever changing society, we are able to provide our children with a strong understanding of the diverse world around them and support them in playing a positive role in showing love and compassion to others and contributing to the school and the wider community. Weaving through the heart of our PSHE teaching, is a commitment to enhancing and promoting our core Christian Values: compassion, respect, courage and humility.

Implementation

PSHE is taught weekly across the school from Early Years – Year 6. As a school community, we follow the Jigsaw PSHE scheme which covers the requirements of the National Curriculum (including statutory RSE requirements), supported by clear progression in skills and knowledge. This ensures that skills and knowledge are built on year by year and sequenced appropriately to maximise learning for all children.

Jigsaw PSHE directs our aim on developing the “whole child” through a spiral curriculum approach to developing knowledge, skills and understanding in the areas of: Being Me in My World; Celebrating Difference; Dreams and Goals; Healthy Me; Relationships; Changing Me.

PSHE is taught through other curriculum areas where meaningful links can be made. The children are taught about and develop an understanding of British Values which enable them to love and value themselves, respect others, appreciate differences and feel confident and infirmed as British citizens within and beyond our community.

Impact

By the time they leave Holy Trinity School, all children will have a ready willingness and ability to try new things, challenge themselves and persevere. They will have a good understanding of how to stay safe, healthy and develop good relationships and have an appreciation of what it means to be a positive member of a diverse, multicultural society. They will have a strong self-awareness, interlinked with compassion of others.
