PSHE 

At Springwell Park Primary, PSHE will support your child to develop their knowledge, skills and attributes needed to manage their lives for now and in the future. The PSHE curriculum will teach your child to stay healthy and to stay safe, and to support them and encourage them to meet their academic potential. 

Our comprehensive curriculum will: 

• Provide a framework in which sensitive discussions can take place. 
• Prepare pupils for puberty, and give them an understanding of sexual development and the importance of health and hygiene. 
• Help pupils develop feelings of self-respect, confidence and empathy. 
• Create a positive culture around issues of sexuality and relationships. 
• Teach pupils the correct vocabulary to describe themselves and their bodies. 
• Develop the skills and understanding for being able to articulate and deal with emotions. 
• To develop decision making skills. 
• To enable pupils to manage their physical and social environments. 

PSHE is taught in many different ways to ensure that the lessons are fun, engaging and meaningful. Our PSHE lessons can take the form of whole class teaching, group work, individual tasks, assemblies, outside visitors, cross curricular lessons and discrete lessons.
