PSHE
Personal, Social, Health & Economic education (PSHE) is a planned programme of learning through which children achieve the knowledge, understanding and skills that they need to manage their lives now and in the future.
PSHE develops qualities and attributes that pupils need to thrive as individuals, family members and members of society.
PSHE also helps children to connect and apply the knowledge and understanding they learn in all subjects to practical, real-life situations while helping them to feel safe and secure enough to fulfil their academic potential.
Why is PSHE important?
PSHE teaches us how to make informed choices and be enterprising and ambitious.
Through PSHE education, we focus on achieving our potential by supporting our wellbeing and tackling issues that can affect our ability to learn, such as anxiety and unhealthy relationships.
In PSHE, we learn the importance of a healthy lifestyle and positive relationships.
When is PSHE taught?
PSHE is taught both discretely and through thematic units. The Satellite View maps out which thematic units feature this subject and clearly shows the objectives taught. Separate lessons are also planned across each phase.
