PSHE

Overview of PSHE for Stoneydelph Primary School. 

At Stoneydelph Primary School, personal, social and health education (PSHE) enables our children to become healthy, independent and responsible members of a society. PSHE helps our pupils to understand how they are developing personally and socially whilst growing up. PSHE also tackles many of the moral, social and cultural issues that are prevalent in today’s society (E-safety).

Stoneydelph Primary School provides our children with opportunities 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 develop their sense of self-worth by playing a positive role in contributing to school life and the wider community.

The PSHE Association evaluated research ‘A case for PSHE’ indicates that PSHE when taught well - helps keep children and young people safe, physically and emotionally healthy and prepared for life and work. PSHE Association evaluated research ‘PSHE, Academic Attainment and Employability’ indicates that growing evidence to suggest that the skills and attributes acquired through PSHE education have a significant impact on pupils' academic achievement, employability and future life chances.

This will give the children the opportunity to become healthy, independent and responsible members of a society who understand how they are developing personally and socially. We provide our children with opportunities for them to learn about rights and responsibilities and appreciate what it means to be a member of a diverse society. This curriculum gives the children the confidence to tackle many of the moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up. Our children are encouraged to develop their sense of self-worth by playing a positive role in contributing to school life and the wider community.
