Our relationships and PSHE curriculum mapping builds term by term, year by year, towards cumulatively sufficient knowledge to enable our children to be safe and healthy, and to manage their personal, academic and personal lives in a positive way. Our curriculum is sequentially planned with a robust rationale for “why this, why now, what next”. 

To ensure our curriculum is well-judged and meaningful, we have added additional elements (beyond the statutory and non statutory guidance) in consultation with Parents. It is right that our curriculum accurately reflects our community, our children and their families.

To supplement quality first teaching, we have sequentially planned enrichment opportunities to broaden our children’s experiences and understanding beyond the scope of the national curriculum and statutory and non- statutory guidance. Our enrichment opportunities are bespoke to our schools, specifically chosen based on our knowledge of what our pupils need to build more authentic portrayals of diversity, backgrounds, contexts and communities that constitute modern Britain.

Our curriculum intent is that our children are prepared for a life in modern Britain because they have the knowledge, attitudes and values to avoid prejudice. Our curriculum and wider experiences enable our children to become tolerant, respectful and educated about diversity to the extent that they celebrate and welcome everyone.

We recognise the importance of Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education and the role it plays in ensuring our children are healthy, independent, and responsible individuals who are prepared for life beyond our school.

Our aim is to develop children fully as:

• Individuals as they focus on their own personal development; believing in themselves, building resilience, developing habits to lead a healthy life.

• Members of families and social communities; understanding how to relate to others and adopt teamwork skills

• Members of economic communities; developing their awareness of the part that they play and how to live responsibly.
