At Slindon CofE Primary School we place great importance on our delivery of our PSHE and RSE curriculum. The curriculum content is bespoke to the cohort and makes intrinsic links to our Philosophy 4 Children (P4C) work, with children being asked to make sense of the 'big concepts' relating them to their own lived experiences.
As a Christian school, the Christian values that guide us every day are intrinsic to many of our policies, including our Relationships and Sex Policy and our PSHE policy. Our Fruits of the Spirit; Love, Joy, Peace,Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and SelfControl, not only guide us in our attitude to God, to other people and ourselves, but are both modelled and explicitly taught within our RSE and PSHE curriculum
We work with the West Sussex E4S scheme, which embeds safeguarding into the day to day teaching of the class. This is handled sensitively and carefully, so that we continue to provide an inclusive curriculum for all.
PSHE deals directly with the diverse values, beliefs and attitudes of individuals and society. PSHE helps pupils acquire British attitudes and values which are necessary if they are to make sense of their experiences, value themselves whilst respecting others, appreciate difference and diversity and feel confident and informed British citizens.
Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education is a school subject through which pupils develop the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to manage their lives, now and in the future.
These skills and attributes help pupils to stay healthy, safe and prepare them for life and work in modern Britain and leave school equipped with skills they will need throughout their lives.
Our PSHE curriculum provides structured opportunities for class teachers and pupils to explore a wide range of social, moral, cultural and behavioural issues. At Slindon Church of England Primary School we believe that PSHE education cannot and should not exist in isolation; it must be part of a whole school approach.
Intent
Our vision for Slindon Church of England Primary School is to inspire and nurture children in a secure, caring and happy Christian community, where diversity and individuality are celebrated. We believe that all individuals are of equal worth and we seek to foster mutual respect and responsibility. We encourage children to develop confidence and resilience in an environment where rights are respected, efforts are valued and all children flourish.
The teaching and learning of PSHE in our school supports and upholds this vision. PSHE deals directly with the diverse values, beliefs and attitudes of individuals and society. PSHE helps pupils acquire British attitudes and values which are necessary if they are to make sense of their experiences, value themselves whilst respecting others, appreciate difference and diversity and feel confident and informed British citizens.
