PSHRE
Intent
The intent of our PSHRE (Personal, Social, Health, Economic and Relationships education) curriculum is to deliver a
curriculum which is accessible to all and that will maximise the outcomes for every child. At St James C of E Primary, PSHRE education enables our children to become healthy, independent and responsible members of a society. It aims to help them
understand how they are developing personally and socially, and tackles many of the moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up. We provide our children with opportunities for them to learn about rights and responsibilities and appreciate what it means to be a member of a diverse society. Our children are encouraged to develop their sense of
self-worth by playing a positive role in contributing to school life and the wider community. We want our
children to have high aspirations, a belief in themselves and realise that anything is possible if they put their mind to it.

Implementation At St James we use the Manchester Healthy Schools' i matter' programme as the basis of our planning and teaching of PSHRE. This is a whole school approach and consist of five areas of leaning;
Our PSHE programme deals with the diverse beliefs, values and attitudes that individuals and societies hold. It helps pupils to develop themselves, their understanding of the world, and their ability to communicate their feelings. At St James, in addition to Relationships Education, we also teach the statutory aspects of Sex Education that are covered in our Science Curriculum. Alongside this we teach about different kinds of relationships and families, including same sex relationships, and gender identity because it is important that our children should have an understanding of the full diversity of the world they live in and be prepared for life in modern Britain. |
EYFS In the Foundation Stage, PSHE and citizenship is taught as an integral part of topic work and is embedded throughout the curriculum. The objectives taught are the Personal, Social and Emotional Development statements from ‘Development Matters in the EYFS’ and the PSED Early Learning Goals from the New Early Years Framework. Assessment Assessment compares where a pupil is at the end of a lesson or series of lessons against where they were before. Baseline assessments are undertaken before new pieces of learning. Assessment for learning is built into lessons to gauge understanding, adapt teaching and to promote and maximise learning. Assessment of learning is completed at the end of piece of learning and used to inform future teaching. |
