PSHE Curriculum Intent
At Longstone CE (VA) Primary School, PSHE is embedded in all that we do to enable our children to become independent, responsible, healthy and confident members of society. Our PSHE curriculum has been built with the aim to nurture the development of the ‘whole child’ so that children will be develop the ability to tackle the moral, social and cultural issues that come hand in hand with living in our modern world. Through both discrete lessons and a cross curricular approach, we provide our children with opportunities to ignite their curiosity and for them to learn about rights and responsibilities and appreciate what it means to be a member of a diverse society. Our children are encouraged to shine and develop their sense of self-worth by playing a positive role in contributing to school life and the wider community.
PSHE CURRICULUM IMPLEMENTATION
The skills covered throughout the progressive PSHE Matters curriculum are not just taught in isolation, but across the school day in incidental opportunities to support children, in Collective Worship, school clubs, circle time, School Council,visits and trips, community and school events, break times and within other lessons.
Throughout our PSHE curriculum (planned and integrated within the school day) we actively promote British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs to prepare our pupils for life in modern day Britain. Pupils learn about similarities and differences between people and cultures and our citizenship lessons enable our pupils to understand the British democratic process, including how to affect peaceful changes in society.

RSHE
RSHE Curriclum Intent
At Longstone C of E Primary School, we want the teaching of safeguarding to play an integral part in our children’s learning and life. We believe a safeguarding focussed RSHE curriculum is essential to enable our children to navigate their way through the modern world and be successful, valuable and socially responsible citizens who know how to keep themselves safe and well. By teaching through the Derbyshire PSHE Matters curriculum we ensure that RSHE expectations are met. Through this provision, we nurture our children so that they will be well equipped, with the belief in themselves, to make informed decisions about their life choices and how they impact on their own and others’ lives. In addition to this we prepare them for success so that they shine in their education, career and for life in modern Britain both now and in their future. By igniting a curiosity in the aspects surrounding RSHE, we enable our children to develop their own skills, knowledge and understanding of how to be who they are, understand the world they are growing up in and how to keep themselves safe in all areas of their world |
