Personal, Social and Health Education (including Relationships and Sex Education)

Vision

Our curriculum aims to provide pupils with the knowledge, skills and attributes needed to manage their lives, now and in the future. Delivering a broad and balanced life-skills PSHE curriculum, through our three strands of Relationships Education, Health and Wellbeing Education and Living in the Wider World is essential for us in helping our children to stay healthy and safe, while preparing them to make the most out of school, work and life. Through quality delivery, our PSHE programme aims to develop:

confident individuals who know and understand how to live safe, happy, healthy, fulfilling lives
young people who are able to maintain positive, respectful and healthy relationships, within which they can thrive personally and socially
responsible citizens who understand they have rights and responsibilities that help them make a positive contribution to society
successful learners who enjoy overall learning, making progress and achieving success

These aims will be achieved by providing pupils with the knowledge, skills, attitudes and attributes to be able to:

develop confidence to listen to, talk and think about feelings and relationships
address concerns and correct misunderstandings and be able to protect themselves and ask for help
develop skills to make and maintain positive relationships
develop positive attitudes and values and respect differences in opinions
develop a positive self-image and high self esteem
gain accurate knowledge and understanding about sexuality and relationships
develop personal responsibility for one's actions
know where to get confidential advice and support

Sequencing

At Moss Hall we...

start every lesson with a short mindfulness activity
explore an image or extract from our core texts as the ‘hook’ for our PSHE learning
make the most of outdoor learning opportunities wherever possible
have carefully mapped our PSHE curriculum to make connections with the wider curriculum lenses and Big Questions
use a wide range of rich and diverse books, stories and resources to support teaching and learning

Listening systems

At Moss Hall we...

practise listening and responding to others and turn-taking
have opportunities for our opinions to be heard through Votes for Schools, current affairs assemblies and through school parliament and council members
have an Ask it Basket in every classroom where children can post confidential questions and thoughts for the teacher to look at later on
ensure that every child can name trusted adults in the school who they can choose to speak to about something they do not wish to speak to the whole class about

Assessment

At Moss Hall we...

record the work, experience and voice of a variety of children in each week’s lesson in a class PSHE book
carry out baseline assessments at the beginning of each unit
respond to the topic key question to assess progress at the end of each unit, where this fits
reflect on and assess the effectiveness of teaching and learning through carrying out pupil interviews
