At the Willows Primary School, we are CONFIDENT CITIZENS and SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS who are creative and resourceful.
We want our children to love PSHE.
Children will have engaged in a rich and varied curriculum journey that enables them to experience creative learning, personal achievement and happiness.
Our PSHE education, including statutory Relationships and Health Education provides a
framework though which key skills, attributes and knowledge can be developed and
applied. This promotes positive behaviour, good mental health and wellbeing, resilience
and achievement, helping children to stay safe online, develop healthy and safe
relationships, making sense of media messages, challenging extreme views and having
the skills and attributes to negotiate and assert themselves now and in the future.
The social and emotional development of pupils is embedded throughout the
entire school’s curriculum and culture. The school has a powerful combination of a
planned thematic PSHE program, built around a spiral curriculum of recurring themes,
designed to:
- Give pupils the knowledge and develop the self-esteem, confidence and self-awareness to make informed choices and decisions;
- Encourage and support the development of social skills and social awareness;
- Enable pupils to make sense of their own personal and social experiences;
- Promote responsible attitudes towards the maintenance of good physical and mental health, supported by a safe and healthy lifestyle;
- Enable effective interpersonal relationships and develop a caring attitude towards others;
- Encourage a caring attitude towards and responsibility for the environment;
- Help our pupils understand and manage their feelings, build resilience and be independent, curious problem solvers;
- Understand how society works and the laws, rights and responsibilities involved.
