PSHE
National Curriculum Guidance
Personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education is an important and necessary part of all pupils’ education.
Our Intent
Our intent is that the teaching of PSHE will:
Be at the core of what we do and enables our children to flourish in order to become independent, confident, healthy and responsible members of society, as well as developing the “whole child” intellectually, morally, socially and spiritually.
All pupils will experience Forest School. Forest school promotes the holistic development of pupils, fostering resilience, confidence, independence and creativity in the outdoor world as the children learn about the natural world and how to look after it. Forest School also promotes environmental awareness. Children learn the value of taking care of things including this special area which we create together at our school.
Teach knowledge and skills as well as values of citizenships in order to keep themselves healthy and safe as they prepare for growing up, life and work in Modern Britain and the global community.
Weaving through the heart of our PSHE teaching, is a commitment to enhancing and promoting both the British Values and our core Christian values.
Allow children leave St Oswald’s, with the knowledge, understanding and emotions to be able to play an active, positive and successful role in today’s diverse society. To give them the confidence to tackle many of the moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up.
