Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHE)
Our vision statement reflects our desire to provide the best possible education, opportunities and environment for all who are part of our school. We believe that our school should be an inclusive community where ALL aim high, achieve well and develop self-confidence, positive values and beliefs, a sense of community, well-being and caring attitudes towards others. PSHE is central to this ethos and equips children with the knowledge, skills and strategies to live healthy, safe and responsible lives.
Relationships
At Danetree Primary School, we understand that pupils must be provided with an education that prepares them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adult life. A key part of this relates to relationships and health education, which must be delivered to every primary-aged pupil. Relationships education focuses on giving pupils the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their wellbeing, health and relationships, and to build their self-efficacy. Health education focuses on equipping pupils with the knowledge they need to make good decisions about their own health and wellbeing. We understand our responsibility to deliver a high-quality and age-appropriate relationships, sex and health curriculum for all our pupils. Our Relationships, Sex and Health education will mainly be delivered through our PSHE, Computing, Science and PE curriculums; however, where other high quality curriculum links can be made, we will use these to broaden and deepen our children's understanding.
The three core themes from the Programme of Study are fully covered. Colour-coding highlights if the overall topic focus is Health and Wellbeing, Relationships or Living in the Wider World (although some half term blocks will draw on more than one core theme). Teaching builds throughout the primary phase according to the age and needs of the pupils, with suggested developmentally appropriate learning objectives responding to each key question.
