Personal, Health and Social Education
“PSHE education is a school subject through which pupils develop the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to keep themselves healthy and safe, and prepared for life and work. Well delivered PSHE programmes have an impact on both academic and non-academic outcomes for pupils, particularly the most vulnerable and disadvantaged.”
(PSHE Association, 2020)
Intent
The aim of PSHE at Bilton is to help children acquire and develop knowledge and understanding of the world around them in order to help them develop as young citizens. Three main areas of PSHE will be taught to enable this to happen:
Relationships; Health and Wellbeing; and Living in the Wider World.
In an ever-changing world, it is important that pupils are aware, to an appropriate level, of different factors which will affect their world and that they learn how to deal with these so that they have good mental health and well-being.
PSHE is taught throughout the school in such a way as to reflect the overall aims, values, and ethos of the school.
At Bilton, PSHE plays a role in promoting the spiritual, moral, social, and cultural development of our children.
PSHE is covered on a two-year programme, allowing there to be more depth in each area. As the children move through school, their learning will build upon their knowledge from the previous years.
By the end of their time at Bilton, children will have developed fluency in their understanding of themselves and others and will know how to support their future and become a successful member of society.
