Aims

At Queen Margaret Primary School, we recognise that each child is an individual and we aim to give them the best chance to develop their capabilities to the full. We also aim to equip them with the knowledge, skills and understanding they will need to lead a safe and healthy lifestyle and to make informed choices about their lives both now and in the future.

This policy explains how PSHE and its provision at Queen Margaret Primary School will contribute to the achievements of these aims. The appendix to the policy shows our provision for PSHE.

It was produced by the headteacher and PSHE lead through consultation with a sample group of parents. Pupils have been involved in the creation of this policy through discussions at school council level. The policy will be reviewed annually.

Parents and carers will be informed about the policy through the newsletter and it will be available on the school website although if paper copies are required then this can be arranged through the school office.

Our school’s ethos is/overarching aims and objectives for our pupils are:

Children are at the heart of what we do. Through an exciting, dynamic and experiential curriculum, we challenge children to know more, remember more and believe in themselves so they begin their life-long journey of learning, discovery and success.

We encourage children to believe in themselves, have the courage to succeed, everything is possible”

Our PSHE curriculum helps pupils to develop and demonstrate skills and attitudes that will allow them to participate fully, and contribute positively, to life in modern Britain. Pupils learn to respect similarities and differences between our diverse cultures in order to build successful and meaningful friendships and relationships that are vital to the world we live in. We use Dimension 3D curriculum to support this.

There are three underlying core themes taught throughout Dimensions 3D PSHE, within which there is broad overlap and flexibility: –

  1. Health and Wellbeing
  2. Relationships
  3. Living in the Wider World

Dimensions 3D PSHE supports the development of the attitudes, values, skills and behaviour which enable pupils to:

  • Live healthy lifestyles
  • Address personal hygiene
  • Develop an awareness of changing and growing
  • Deal with different emotions in an appropriate way
  • Keep safe
  • Communicate well with others and work as a team
  • Define, identify and know how to respond to bullying
  • Know where and how to seek help when needed
  • Treat everybody with respect
  • Form and build positive relationships
  • Understand the reasons for rules, and their responsibility to keep them

  • Know how to make emergency calls
  • Know basic First Aid
  • Work collaboratively and respectfully
  • Appreciate diversity
  • Empathise with other points of view

End Goals
EYFS
Our aim in teaching PSHE in EYFS is to begin to develop pupils’ self-awareness as individuals and their place in their class environment. Pupils should be able to communicate with both adults and their peers in the classroom, expressing how they feel, what they need and using language appropriately to solve simple social disagreements. Pupils should be able to make friends in their class and show kindness and thoughtfulness towards others. As well as the adults in their classroom and school, they will be aware of people in the wider community who can help them. They should also be able to give some simple suggestions of ways in which they can help their peers and other members of the school community if they need it. For example, if someone has hurt themselves, they should know that they need to let an adult know. By the end of this phase, pupils should be able to recognise similarities and differences between them, particularly physical differences. They should also be able to name some basic body parts. They will have been made aware that some people have disabilities that make certain tasks challenging and they should be able to suggest some ways in which they could help others achieve a task. Pupils should also be able to set themselves some simple targets, such as being able to climb a little higher on the climbing frame or to write their own name. This phase also allows pupils to become aware of the rules of the classroom, follow them without needing much

prompting from adults and to take some responsibility for keeping their classroom safe and tidy.

KS1
Our aim in teaching PSHE in KS1 is to expand and build on pupils’ awareness of themselves and others and develop skills learnt in Explorers. Pathfinders should be able to, not only communicate more clearly with their peers and adults, but also show signs of careful and attentive listening. They will have had opportunity to talk in more depth about how they and others may be feeling in a given situation and offer some suggestion for how they could make someone feel happier if they were sad or hurt. Pupils should be aware of what bullying is in simple terms and what they should do if they, or someone else, is being bullied. They will have discussed ways in which they can take responsibility for their own behaviour and how their responsibilities can extend beyond the classroom into the wider community. At the end of the Pathfinders phase, pupils should have an initial awareness of what makes a healthy lifestyle, recognising the importance of physical activity and a varied diet. They will be made more aware of the similarities and differences between people based

on gender. Pupils will have also been introduced to financial literacy and be made aware, in basic terms, of keeping safe online.

LKS2
Our aim in teaching PSHE in LKS2 is to encourage pupils to become more aware of their own strengths and weaknesses and to broaden their horizons in terms of recognising diversity and celebrating difference within their close and wider communities. Pupils should be able to show sensitivity to people from backgrounds different to their own and learn about the life experiences that some people have had, or are currently experiencing. In this phase, the idea of what makes a family is looked at in more details and pupils should be aware that a family can look very different from their own; not everyone has the same family set up as them. They should show awareness and

sensitivity when talking about families and understand that some people may not want to share much about their family environment. By the end of the Adventurers phase, pupils should be able to work more collaboratively with their peers and understand the terms

‘resilience’ and ‘perseverance’ when tackling a task that requires more effort and a sense of teamwork. They should have developed their communication skills in order to discuss, listen and delegate tasks to their peers and have improved skills for resolving conflicts more effectively.

Pupils will have continued to be aware of their body and recognise some ways it grows and changes as they get older. They will also be able to talk about nutrition and physical activity in more detailed terms and how these features contribute to a healthy lifestyle. Finally, pupils should have a better understanding of online safety, having looked at the reasons for age restrictions on social media and gaming, as well understanding ways in which they can keep themselves safe online.

UKS2
Our aim in teaching PSHE in UKS2 is to continue to build on the knowledge and skills acquired across the previous three phases by giving pupils a broader, more global viewpoint. By the end of this phase, pupils should be able to clearly articulate their own ideas and draw their own conclusions in discussions and when assessing scenarios. They should be able to share why a conflict has occurred and offer the best solution resolving it. In the Navigators phase, pupils will have come across some difficult, hard-hitting topics. They will have needed to draw on all their knowledge and skills to approach these issues with sensitivity and empathy. Through the global events of September 11th 2001, pupils will have explored what can lead people towards extremist and radicalised views and pupils should be able to offer suggestions as to how they could help someone who appears to be vulnerable and potentially harbouring some extremist views. Pupils should also be able to discuss the feelings associated with death and loss and know that it is normal to be very upset and go through the process of grieving when someone or something beloved dies. As well as approaching some difficult topics, pupils should also have a deeper understanding of more complex financial issues and financial literacy. In terms of health, they should be aware that health doesn’t just cover aspects of physical wellbeing, but also mental wellbeing and know what to do if they are feeling anxious, unhappy or suffering from low self-esteem. Finally, pupils should know what the term ‘anarchy’ means and have a good understanding of rules and responsibilities far beyond the classroom.

Curriculum provision

Curriculum Intent:

At Queen Margaret Primary School, we aim to enable children to develop the knowledge, skills, attributes and understanding they will need to lead a safe and healthy lifestyle, play active roles as citizens and make informed choices about their lives both now and in the future.

We are committed to providing opportunities for children to enhance their personal, social, emotional, spiritual, moral and cultural development, and believe it is an essential part of the curriculum and values of our school.

We understand the importance of maintaining emotional and physical wellbeing, to take responsibility for their actions, to feel confident about themselves, to develop a sense of belonging and purpose and to develop healthy relationships both now and in the future.

We promote the needs and interests of all pupils, irrespective of gender, culture, ability or personal circumstance. Teaching will take into account the age, ability, readiness, and cultural backgrounds of children [and those with English as a second language] to ensure that all can fully access PSHE education provision. We promote diversity and inclusion will consider all pupils ‘needs b making adaptations to planning where necessary.

PSHE is taught through a wide range of planned learning opportunities, some lessons are planned within the Curriculum Themes with some lessons and areas being taught in separate lessons (see appendix).

We encourage children to discuss subjects in a respectful manner and use circle times to do this where appropriate.

We also employ a Pastoral Support Worker who works with individual children who are experiencing social, emotional and behavioral difficulties.

Learning in PSHE takes place through:

  1. Planned lessons where direct subjects are discussed, giving children the opportunity to participate and give their views
  2. The promotion of the school’s aims, values and ethos, and through reinforcing the school’s expectations for learning and behaviour.
  3. The promotion of ‘The 5 Ways to Wellbeing’
  4. Religious Education: The aims of E. and PSHE are closely linked and they both seek to develop the child holistically.
  5. Whole school activities – such as weekly Celebration Assemblies, the Daily Mile, Forest School, Anti-Bullying Week, a wide range of extra-curricular clubs, and educational and residential visits
  6. The School Council and Peer Mediator role
  7. Assemblies using a values approach
  8. All classes experience the ‘Life Education’ visit once a year

The PSHE/RSHE Lead and Senior Leadership Team are responsible for the monitoring and evaluation of PSHE throughout the school.

In addition, we recognise that all adults coming into contact with the children regularly in school must promote PSHE, as well as Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural experiences and learning. It is expected that all adults will be positive role models for children, and must be familiar with and uphold the school’s Behaviour Policy underpinned by our positive ethos and embedded ‘growth mindset’ approach.

The promotion of children’s PSHE is not viewed in isolation and we believe firmly in the partnership between school and home. We welcome parents into school and have an ‘open door’ policy. The school also endeavors to keep regular contact with parents through letters and meetings.

Assessment, Reporting and Monitoring:

There is no formal assessment of PSHE but children have the regular opportunity to reflect on their own learning and personal experiences, and to set personal goals and agree strategies to reach them.

 

However, monitoring of PSHE is planned within the schedule on the schools Monitoring and Evaluation Cycle. PSHE is reported to parents in writing within children’s end of year report.

Parent Consultation Evenings provide an important opportunity for discussion about the personal and social development of pupils.

The Senior Leadership Team is responsible for monitoring standards and quality in PSHE alongside the PSHE lead. This is done through discussion with class teachers and pupils, pupil and parent questionnaires, providing guidance with planning and monitoring of pupil behaviour.

This policy should be read in conjunction with the following school policies and documents:

  • RSE Policy
  • Behaviour Policy
  • Safeguarding /Child protection Policy
  • E. Policy
