PSHE

Intent

Our intention is that when children leave St Julie’s, they will do so with the knowledge, understanding and emotions to be able to play an active, positive and successful role in today’s diverse society. We want our children to have high aspirations, a belief in themselves and realise that anything is possible if they put their mind to it. In an ever–changing world, it is important that they are aware, to an appropriate level, of different factors which will affect their world and that they learn how to deal with these so that they have good mental health and well-being.

Our PSHE curriculum develops learning and results in the acquisition of knowledge and skills which will enable children to access the wider curriculum and prepare them to be a global citizen now and in their future roles within a global community. It promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils, preparing them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences for later life.

Implementation

As a Roman Catholic school, PSHE permeates throughout our daily practice. The “Come and See” religious education scheme allows for significant scope to address most aspects of PSHE, including relationships, sex and health education, which is taught using the “A Journey in Love” resource.  In addition, links are made with other areas of the curriculum, such as science and physical education, in order to offer children a broad and balanced approach to PSHE education.

To ensure children are receiving a well—rounded PSHE education, we follow the PSHE Association in key stages 1 and 2. In addition, we use themed weeks such as Anti-Bullying Week and Safer Internet day to offer children immersive experiences. Our approach, ensures that PSHE education is valued as an important aspect of school life and provides our children with a structured approach to their learning.

Information on PHSE Association: The PSHE Association is the national body for personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education.
