PSHE
At Clanfield Church of England Primary School we are committed to teaching a relevant Personal, Social, Health and Emotional Curriculum (PSHE).
At Clanfield, we teach PSHE as a whole-school approach. The Jigsaw programme offers us a comprehensive, carefully thought-through scheme of work which brings consistency and progression to our children's learning in this important curriculum area. The overview of the programme can be seen below.
Our PSHE programme also supports the 'Personal Development' and 'Behaviour and Attitude' aspects evaluated under the Ofsted Inspection Framework, as well as significantly contributing to the school's Safeguarding and Equality duties, the Government's British Values agenda and the SMSC (spiritual, moral, social and cultural) development opportunities provided for our children.
Nurture and Mental Health
Forming and sustaining positive relationships with friends, peers and staff is a key component when pursuing a happy and peaceful life. We want our pupils to be able to establish healthy, meaningful and supportive relationships with those in school and beyond. Our PSHE, SMSC and supportive learning environment supports children in collaborating, combining skills and talents and the ability to work together successfully.
Valuing the Whole Child
We hold our pupils' holistic development in the same high regard as their academic attainment and achievements. We value the well-being and personal development of each individual pupil and member of staff, and aim to provide a curriculum in which each member of our school family can thrive. We aim to create inclusive and engaging learning environments to help us develop curious, confident learners. Our curriculum supports us in celebrating and embracing diversity of cultures, opinions and lifestyle choices, both locally and globally.
