‘It’s not about being the best, it’s about being better every day’ – unknown

We are committed to ensuring that the emotional and social needs of all our children are met within our school setting. We believe that the components of the curriculum we are providing develops the emotional learning of our children and gives the pupils the knowledge, skills, attitudes, values and understanding they need in order to reach their potential as individuals, and within the community.

This will enable our children to lead confident, healthy, independent lives and become informed, socially adjusted, active and responsible citizens. We recognise that the vision and values of the school is crucial to this learning and therefore is at the heart of our PSHCE curriculum whilst also linking to safeguarding, British Values and prevent.

We believe that PSHCE should not be taught discretely but should be evident in all subjects across the curriculum to best promote positive mental health and a healthy school culture. Our PSHCE curriculum enables pupils to have:Accurate and relevant knowledge,

• Opportunities to turn that knowledge into personal understanding,
• Opportunities to explore, clarify and if necessary challenge, their own and others’ values, attitudes, beliefs, rights and responsibilities,
• The skills, language and strategies they need in order to live healthy, safe, fulfilling, responsible and balanced lives.
