PSHE

 

OUR VISION FOR THIS SUBJECT

PSHE Education (Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education) is a planned programme of learning through which our children acquire the knowledge, understanding and skills they need to successfully manage their lives – now and in the future. As part of a whole-school approach, PSHE Education develops the qualities and attributes pupils need to thrive as individuals, family members and members of society.

 

PSHE CURRICULUM INTENT  

As part of our PSHE programme, we use the Jigsaw 3-11 scheme which holds children at its heart.   Its cohesive vision helps children understand and value how they fit into and contribute to the world.

With strong emphasis on emotional literacy, building resilience and nurturing mental and physical health, Jigsaw 3-11 supports our school to deliver engaging and relevant PSHE within a whole-school approach. Jigsaw lessons also include mindfulness allowing children to advance their emotional awareness, concentration and focus. Our intention is that when children leave Cheswick Green, 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.

 

PSHE CURRICULUM IMPLEMENTATION

Our comprehensive PSHE programme through Jigsaw 3-11 includes statutory Relationships and Health Education, in a spiral, progressive and fully planned scheme of work, giving children relevant learning experiences to help them navigate their world and to develop positive relationships with themselves and others.

Jigsaw consists of six half-term units of work (Puzzles), each containing six lessons (Pieces) covering each academic year.

  • Term 1: Being Me in My World
  • Term 2: Celebrating Difference (including anti-bullying)
  • Term 3: Dreams and Goals
  • Term 4: Healthy Me
  • Term 5: Relationships
  • Term 6: Changing Me (including Sex Education)

Every Piece has two Learning Intentions, one specific to Relationships and Health Education (PSHE) and the other designed to develop emotional literacy and social skills.

 

 

PSHE CURRICULUM IMPACT

The impact of our PSHE curriculum will:

give pupils the knowledge, skills, and attributes they need to keep themselves healthy and safe and to prepare them for life and work in modern Britain. Children will achieve their academic potential, and leave our school equipped with skills they will need throughout later life.

This is achieved through:

  • monitoring the PSHE effectively using scrutiny and moderation of outcomes
  • discussions with pupils to ensure impact matches intent
  • through summative and formative assessment

 

 

INCLUSION

Inclusion is about every child having educational needs, that every child is special and the School is meeting these diverse needs in order to ensure the active participation and progress of all children in their learning.

We recognise that in all classes, children have differing emotional and social and emotional literacy skills, so we seek to provide suitable learning opportunities for all children by matching the challenge of the task to the ability and skills of the child. We achieve this in a variety of ways:

  • setting tasks which are open-ended and can have a variety of responses;
  • setting tasks of increasing difficulty;
  • scaffolding learning so that all pupils can be successful;
  • providing resources of different complexity, depending on the ability of skills of the child;
  • using classroom assistants to support the work of individuals or groups of children.
