PSHE

 

Intent

PSHE education links directly with our vision for pupils. Through our PSHE curriculum we give the pupils at Fountain the knowledge and skills to be healthy, happy and safe.  

We aim to develop pupils’ confidence, resilience, and self-esteem; giving them the ability to make informed choices. Children are supported to develop skills for future employability and economic wellbeing. We encourage pupils to talk openly about their mental health and access support as and when required. We ensure that children from all backgrounds will feel valued and represented in an equal way. 

Our PSHE curriculum aims to develop skills and attributes such as resilience, self-esteem, risk-management, team working and critical thinking in the context of three core themes: health and wellbeing, relationships and living in the wider world (including economic wellbeing and aspects of careers education).  

Pupils will learn the following: 

  • Understand what constitutes a healthy lifestyle (including physical health, mental health and healthy relationships). 
  • Understand how to stay safe; recognising risks and how to behave online. 
  • Understand the dangers they may face, both in and around school and beyond, and be provided with the means to keep themselves safe. 
  • Understand the law and consequences of risk-taking behaviours. 
  • Respect other people, regardless of cultural/ethnic/religious/gendered viewpoints of others in our school community and the wider world. 
  • Understand British Values. 
  • Understand that they have a right to speak up about issues or events, and to respect other’s right to do the same.  

PSHE is taught from the You Me and PSHE scheme of work and the Mindmate scheme of work.  In addition to PSHE lessons we teach PSHE through themed weeks (Health and Sport week and our initial weeks) and through our assembly themes.
