“Children know how to be safe, healthy and emotionally regulated, so they can manage their future lives in a positive way.”
Intent
Our intent for Personal Social Health Citizenship Education (P.S.H.C.E) is that children are able to develop their attitudes, values, skills and behaviour through the three big ideas:
- Be Healthy (Health and Wellbeing)
- Make and understand healthy relationships (Relationships)
- Play a full part in society (Citizenship)
Implementation
Our PSHCE curriculum progressively builds children’s knowledge, skills and understanding. Through the three big ideas children learn to:
- Live healthy lifestyles
- Address personal hygiene
- Develop an awareness of changing and growing
- Deal with different emotions in an appropriate way

- Define, identify and know how to respond to bullying

- Know how to make emergency calls
- Know basic First Aid
- Work collaboratively and respectfully
- Appreciate diversity
- Empathise with other points of view
- Express opinions clearly

- Develop strategies for managing changing emotions
JOT the Robot
The Equality Act 2010 aims to prevent discrimination. It is illegal to discriminate against people based on nine protected characteristics.
No form of discrimination is tolerated at Sproughton C of E primary School, but it is particularly important that children are taught about these protected characteristic groups and the importance of showing respect to people within these groups.
We address this in a number of ways, such as through our Collective Worship which is linked to our Curriculum 6 C’s and our school values. We also ensure that our curriculum is planned and delivered in order that children learn about these protected characteristics in an age-appropriate manner. Please see our PSHE curriculum map below which shows the different PSHE topics that include teaching of these protected characteristics across the school. The protected characteristics are shown in orange.
Impact
Children leave Sproughton C of E Primary School, secure in the knowledge, skills and understanding of the three PSHCE big ideas:
- Health and Wellbeing – I am healthy because I understand, prioritise and develop my physical health and mental wellbeing.
- Relationships – I am healthy because I can build healthy, respectful and non-discriminatory relationships based on equality.
- Citizenship – I am healthy because play a full part in society as an active and responsible citizen.
Learning and teaching in PSHCE is monitored regularly
by the subject leader for learning: Mrs Kathryn Lummis.
