As a school, we strongly believe in the importance of educating children to an exceptionally high standard not just academically but in such a way that prepares them for making a positive contribution to modern Britain. Because of this, we give high priority to the personal, social and emotional development of pupils.
Children take part in weekly PSHE sessions which develop their personal and social skills well as equipping them with the skills and knowledge to live a healthy life.
Follow this link for the PSHE long term plan which includes the topics for each year group.
In addition to this, we host other events throughout the year, such as an annual Futures Festival which develops our pupils’ understanding of the world of work and how they can make a positive contribution to society.
We manage behaviour positively and always seek to listen to our pupil’s views and understand their perspectives. To manage behaviour which breaks our rules, we use a system of stages. To reward positive behaviour, we use a variety of methods such as praise and communication with parents/carers.
We work closely with our pupils’ parents and carers to ensure they are kept fully informed about their child’s behaviour.
Sex and Relationships Education (SRE)
Our Sex and Relationships Education is embedded within our PSHE (Personal, Social, Health Education) and is taught during the second half of the summer term. The curriculum includes emotional, spiritual, moral, social and physical aspects of sex and health education. Our SRE gives pupils accurate, age-appropriate information and provides opportunities for them to develop life skills. Annually, parents and carers are invited in to discuss the SRE their child(ren) will be taught that year. They are able to look at the resources that will be used and will be offered advice on how to discuss the topics taught with their children at home. Please contact the school if you have any questions about our PSHE or SRE schemes and we will be more than happy to talk to you.School Values and Rules
Our school rules are based on five key values. We teach our children these values to support their moral development and to prepare them for life in Modern Britain.
