PSHE

PSHE Intent, Implementation and Impact Statement

Intent

Our intention is that when children leave Holbeach Primary Academy, 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 develops learning and results in the acquisition of knowledge and skills which will enable children to access the wider curriculum and prepare them to be a global citizen now and in their future roles within a global community. It promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils, preparing them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences for later life. Our Relationships and Sex Education enables our children to learn how to be safe, and to understand and develop healthy relationships, both now and in their future lives

Implementation

PSHE is implemented through learning following the Jigsaw Primary PSHE scheme which includes the statutory Relationships and Health Education curriculum. This is a spiral, progressive and fully planned scheme of work, giving children relevant learning experiences to help them navigate their world and to develop positive relationships with themselves and others.

Jigsaw consists of six half-term units of work (Puzzles), each containing six lessons (Pieces) covering each academic year.

• Term 1: Being Me in My World
• Term 2: Celebrating Difference (including anti-bullying)
• Term 3: Dreams and Goals
• Term 4: Healthy Me
• Term 5: Relationships
• Term 6: Changing Me (including Sex Education)

Every Piece has two learning intentions, one specific to Relationships and Health Education (PSHE) (in purple) and the other designed to develop emotional literacy and social skills (SMSC) (in green).

Alongside this we teach about different kinds of relationships, including same sex relationships, and gender identity because it is important that our children should have an understanding of the full diversity of the world they live in and be prepared for life in modern Britain. The Sex Education aspects of PSHE are also taught through the ‘Jigsaw’ as are the British Values and how to be a citizen in modern-day Britain.

It also identifies links to British Values, and SMSC and is taught in such a way as to reflect the overall aims, values, and ethos of the school.

Impact

By the time our children leave our academy they will:

• be able to approach a range of real life situations and apply their skills and attributes to help navigate themselves through modern life,
• be on their way to becoming healthy, open minded, respectful, socially and morally responsible, active members of society,

• appreciate difference and diversity,
• recognise and apply the British Values of Democracy, Tolerance, Mutual respect, Rule of law and Liberty,
• be able to understand and manage their emotions,
• be able to look after their mental health and well-being,
• be able to develop positive, healthy relationship with their peers both now and in the future,
• understand the physical aspects involved in RSE at an age appropriate level,
• have respect for themselves and others,
• have a positive self esteem.
