Implementation

At St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, the teaching of PSHE helps children to learn about themselves as growing and changing individuals with their own experiences and ideas, and as members of their communities.  Therefore, PSHE is taught discreetly as well as throughout other subjects and throughout the school day.

PSHE will follow the core themes of:

  • Health and Wellbeing
  • Relationships
  • Living in the Wider World

The teaching of PSHE is delivered within a whole school approach which included, dedicated curriculum time, teaching PSHE through other subjects, circle time, specialised curriculum, PSHE activities and school events, and pastoral care and guidance.

It has been identified that it is not enough to simply teach pupils about the issues covered in the suggested subject content.  It is vital they have the opportunity to explore their attitudes, values and beliefs about them and to develop the skills, language and strategies necessary to manage these issues should they encounter them in their lives.

Please see our PSHE Curriculum year group overview which shows the accumulation of knowledge and skills from Years 1 to 6.

Our Mental Health First Aider is Mrs Ashton and our Mental Health Lead is Mrs Hoggarth.

Aspirations For The Future

Pupils develop an understanding of how subjects and specific skills are linked to future jobs. 

Here are some of the jobs you could aspire to do in the future: 

  • Guide Dog Trainer 
  • Rehoming Assistant 
  • Kit Manager

Assessment

Through the explicit teaching of the skills taught in PSHE, both the teachers and the pupils assess their learning continuously throughout the lesson. At the end of the unit, pupils are given the opportunity to reflect on their knowledge and understanding. Our assessment systems enable teachers to make informed judgements about the depth of their learning and the progress they have made over time.
