PSHE
Intent
At Lingdale Primary School, we feel passionate about children as individuals becoming the best possible version of themselves; we have the highest of expectations for all of our future citizens of the world. Therefore, helping develop each and every child as a whole child lies at the heart of the teaching of Relationships Education. We are committed to ensuring equality of opportunity for all pupils, staff, parents and carers irrespective of race, gender, disability, belief, sexual orientation, age or socio-economic background. We are determined to develop a culture of inclusion and diversity in which all those connected to our school feel proud of their identity and ability to participate fully in school life. We have created an environment which champions respect for all. Our pupils are engaged and committed learners; they show commendable endeavour in their learning and demonstrate self-disciple, resilience and confidence in their journey from primary to secondary school.
Our aims:
- To ensure that subject content will be taught sensitively and teachers will take into account the importance of being respectful of the backgrounds and beliefs of pupils and parents
- To promote the importance of putting in place the key building blocks of health, respectful relationships, family and friendship, including online
- To support children in being the best possible character that they can be – offering skills to become happy, productive and successful members of society
- To highlight the importance of keeping healthy and living a healthy lifestyle
- To foster pupil wellbeing and develop resilience and character
- To develop the personal attributes including kindness, integrity, generosity, honesty, empathy and compassion
- To help prepare pupils for a wide range of experiences in later life
Implementation
At Lingdale Primary School, the teaching of Relationships Education follows the statutory guidance and consists of high quality and age-related teaching and is intrinsic in everything we do. The subject is delivered though a detailed PSHE programme of study (Jigsaw) with a mindful approach. Our PSHE scheme of work supports staff in providing knowledge that enables children at Lingdale to make informal decisions about their wellbeing. We offer a carefully planned progressive programme in a safe and respectful environment where our children feel a sense of security, belonging and tolerance.
