Look at situations from angles, and you will become more open - Dalai Lama
At Clanfield Church of England School we are committed to teaching a relevant Personal, Social, Health and Emotional Curriculum.
A growing body of research shows that pupils who are emotionally healthy do better at school. PSHE education helps children and young people to achieve their potential by supporting their wellbeing and tackling issues that can affect their ability to learn, such as anxiety and unhealthy relationships. PSHE education also helps pupils to develop skills and aptitudes - like teamwork, communication, and resilience - that are crucial to navigating the challenges and opportunities of the modern world, and are increasingly valued by employers.
At Clanfield CE, each of our PSHE units relates to a ‘big question’ which links to one of three core PSHE themes: Health and Wellbeing, Relationships and Living in the Wider World. These begin in reception and key stage 1 as ‘What? and ‘Who?’’ questions and build throughout Key Stage 2 into ‘Why?’ and ‘How?’ questions. Each of the themes aims to support pupils in their holistic and personal development, help them to develop the necessary understanding and awareness to become confident, responsible and globally minded citizens with a real awareness of themselves and others and developmental progression by revisiting themes year on year, building on and extending prior learning.
The skills and attributes learned and developed in PSHE help pupils to stay healthy, safe and prepare them for life and work in modern Britain and beyond. Our PSHE curriculum has strong links to our 5 themes of Ethical Citizenship, Inner Curriculum, Skills and Attitudes for Life, self - Expression and Relationships, with opportunities to collaborate, express their ideas and challenge perceptions in their lessons.
From September 2020, the Health Education and Relationships Education aspects of PSHE education will be compulsory in all schools. Teaching about relationships is an integral part of a developmental PSHE education curriculum which contributes to safeguarding pupils. We strongly believe that through our teaching, we will be able to equip our pupils with the skills they need to successfully manage the potential challenges of relationships in the modern world. As a school which celebrates and welcomes inclusivity, difference and diversity, this is an exciting time to develop these relevant themes into our PSHE curriculum in line with our Church of England ethos. The new relationships education curriculum includes teaching about LGBT people and themes. LGBT-inclusive teaching ensures that all children, including those who are or who have LGBT+ families, see themselves reflected in what they learn. It also encourages all young people to grow up with inclusive and accepting attitudes.
