PSHE and Relationships and Health Education
Curriculum intent
Our PSHE / RSHE curriculum is planned and delivered to enable our young people to be:
- Successful learners who enjoy learning, make progress and achieve
- Confident individuals who are able to live safe, healthy and fulfilling lives
- Responsible citizens who make a positive contribution to society
It is the intention of Selwyn Primary School to teach high quality, age appropriate, pupil-sensitive, evidence-based PSHE, that demonstrates a respect for the law and all communities that call Newham home.
It is expected that PSHE in Selwyn Primary School will encourage a sense of curiosity and empathy about the world they live in, giving them the skills, understanding and independence they need for life in 21st century Britain. The aim is to enable them to embrace diversity, help them to make the most of technology and understand and develop the skills needed to develop healthy and strong relationships. This will help them to stay safe and to flourish, not just in childhood, but into adulthood and for the next stage of their life.
PSHE can make a significant contribution to the development of the personal skills needed by children to form and maintain good, sound and lasting relationships that are founded on respect and resilience. Our PSHE curriculum helps children to build ambition and make well informed decisions about their own choices, health and wellbeing.
