PSHE at St. Anne's Catholic Primary School
PSHE Lead: Mrs Pigot

Intent

Our intention is that when children leave St. Anne’s, they will do so with the knowledge, understanding and emotions to be able to play an active, positive and successful role in today’s diverse society. We want our children to have high aspirations, a belief in themselves and realise that anything is possible if they put their mind to it.

In an ever–changing world, it is important that they are aware, to an appropriate level, of different factors which will affect their world and that they learn how to deal with these so that they have good mental health and well-being. Our PSHE curriculum, including Catholic Social Teaching, promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils, preparing them to be confident and happy citizens.

Implementation

At St Annes, PSHE is taught through a clear and comprehensive scheme of work called ‘Ten Ten Life to the Full Plus’. Life to the Full Plus covers all the statutory outcomes across three themes.

Module 1: Created and Loved by God

Module 2: Created to Love Others

Module 3: Created to Live in the Community

These schemes of work allow us to cover a broad range of topics in a variety of ways. PSHE is taught in a range of ways and many elements of it are celebrated throughout different times of the academic year.  

Some of the different areas include: 

• Anti-Bullying   
• Road Safety
• Black History  
• First Aid  
• Celebrating Differences  
• Children’s Mental Health  
• Online safety  
• Money  

More information regarding PSHE:

• Children in KS1 and KS2 have a weekly timetabled PSHE lesson.
• Across the school, all children have their own PSHE folder, where they record their learning and this is passed up with the children as they move up the school.
• Children reflect on their learning at the end of every lesson to allow them to consider how this learning will change their behaviour or their thoughts going forward.
• Teachers use baseline assessments to inform their planning and end of unit assessments to show the progress of their children.
• Whole school themes are explored during key stage assemblies, such as, our school values, wellbeing, E-Safety, Zones of regulation and healthy living.
• As a school, we celebrate Healthy Living and Mental Health Week in June, where all children in the school take part in different physical activities and take part in class activities related to mental health.
• We participate in Anti-Bullying week each year in November and all classes take part in activities related to the yearly theme from the Anti-Bullying Alliance.
