PSHCE

Departmental Aims

VISION

  • WISDOM – All children will develop a rich knowledge and understanding of the PSHE, Citizenship and Statutory RSHE framework to provide a suitable skill set so they are able to make safe and informed decisions about their life both now and into the future. The PSHCE curriculum will develop student’s resilience, well-being and character, whilst promoting their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.
  • HOPE AND ASPIRATION – The PSHCE curriculum underpins the whole school curriculum allowing children to develop a positive mindset to encourage them to plan and achieve for their long-term goals whilst tackling barriers to learning and wellbeing that they face. Pupils at Bury Church will develop into well-rounded individuals who will be able to tackle any of life’s challenges and achieve excellence.
  • COMMUNITY AND LIVING WELL – The PSHCE curriculum will develop a child’s understanding of the world around them, encouraging them to develop healthy relationships, whilst recognising unhealthy situations. The PSHCE curriculum will encourage children to take informed action and be active members of our local community.
  • DIGNITY AND DIVERSITY – The PSHCE curriculum enables all children to learn about rights and responsibilities and appreciate what it means to be a member of a diverse and multicultural society.   The protected characteristics of the Equality Act 2010 underpin learning and encourages children to accept and support all in our community.

INTENT

The PSHCE Curriculum is based around 6 key areas and is designed using a spiral model so that topics and learning are continually revisited and prior knowledge underpins the current learning.

  1. Health and Wellbeing (forms part of the RSHE provision) – includes drugs and alcohol education, mental and emotional well-being, managing risk and personal safety, sexual health
  2. Relationships and Sex Education (forms part of the RSHE provision) - includes positive relationships, consent, social influences on behaviour, contraception, parenthood and families; bullying, abuse and discrimination
  3. Living in the wider world (addresses some aspects of Careers provision) – includes learning skills; career choices and pathways; employment rights and responsibilities; financial choices and media literacy and digital resilience.
