\u201cYou\u2019re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n \u2013\u202fWinnie the Pooh, honey-lover<\/p>\n\t As a school, we have a responsibility to nurture children in their development during their time with us and in preparation for later life. Sherborne C of E Primary School is committed to ensuring that all children receive a comprehensive PSHE curriculum that builds upon knowledge, skills and understanding. Our delivery of PSHE will: <\/p>\n \u2022\tBe comprehensive<\/p>\n \u2022\tBe age appropriate<\/p>\n \u2022\tBe adaptable to the needs of the pupils<\/p>\n \u2022\tPromote health and well-being<\/p>\n\u2022\tNurture the growth of the pupils as they journey through our school Promoting PSHE across the school<\/p>\n Opportunities for PSHE development should be taken across all areas of school life. Some examples include: <\/p>\n\u2022\tThrough exploring our school values (trust, courage, respect, forgiveness, thankfulness, friendship) Teachers will use the Pink Curriculum planning tool to ensure good coverage of the following areas of learning:<\/p>\n Health and wellbeing<\/p>\nThis area will support pupils in developing risk management; knowing how to keep themselves safe at home and out and about; what to do and who to ask for help; the dangers and risks involved of drugs (and medicines) and smoking. It will also help pupils to understand personal change and responsibility; giving the children the tools to understand and manage their feelings; creating a sense of what makes us unique and understanding differences; personal hygiene; growing up \u2013 changes to our bodies. Through this area, teachers will aim to equip children with the skills to grow into responsible citizens within and outside of the school setting. Within this area of the curriculum, teachers are expected to teach about equality and diversity at an age appropriate level. This includes teaching children about citizenship and the British Values. It is also another opportunity to teach children about Internet safety, the influence of the media and money management. To further promote this learning, at the start of the school year, each class will discuss and create together a set of rules for the classroom, based on the values held by the school. Also, as a school we welcome links with our wider community including: <\/p>\n\u2022\tSt Mary Magdalene Church (including led collective worships) Healthy relationships<\/p>\n This area will explore relationships within families, pupils\u2019 peers and others within society. Pupils should be taught to develop an understanding of the dynamics of healthy relationships; how to make and maintain friendships; what responsibilities different people have and who to trust. They should also learn about kindness and anti-bullying, exploring what bullying is and how to respond to it; how to be a good friend and to understand differences and similarities. Through these themes, teachers are expected to encourage children to develop respect for themselves, those in their own lives and in the wider world.<\/p>\n
