PSHE at CBINS

Intent - Our PSHE curriculum is designed to enable all children to be independent, to value and respect themselves and others, to build healthy relationships, and prepare them for life. We encourage our children to think for themselves and ask questions in order to grow their confidence and allow them to apply their learning to everyday life situations. We feel it is crucial for children to be independent, empathetic and be able to work as part of a team in order to contribute to society and use their knowledge and skills to make safe and informed decisions. Central to this is being able to keep themselves safe and healthy.

Progression of skills and knowledge
Builds on, embeds and deepens prior learning

Implementation – We implement this by following the JIGSAW scheme of work that builds upon prior learning while revisiting skills and meeting the needs of the children in our school. Children learn to become independent, respectful, safe and healthy through: play and exploration; discussion and talk with peers and knowledgeable adults; studying real life situations and examples; quality first teaching; relevant stories and scenarios and time to be mindful. Crucial to this is a rich learning environment that encourages children to use and apply their skills in everyday situations.

Teaching

Developmentally appropriate approaches that lead to high levels of engagement and motivation.

Scaffolding through resources, peer support and adult interaction
Addressing errors at the point of misconception
Delving deeper through questioning, both adult led and child led
Use feedback, learning conversations, play partnering to reinforce and extend learning

Sequential mapping and skills progression that revisits and reinforces taught content
Learning environment that reinforces taught knoweldge and encourages application to new learning with continuous provision inviting children to apply their skills as part of their play and exploration

Impact – Our PSHE curriculum leads to good progress across the school. At the end of EYFS children are more confident in expressing themselves and can articulate how they feel and demonstrate healthy choices. At the end of KS1, children build on the skills and knowledge acquired in EYFS and show understanding towards others, use the correct vocabulary when discussing their health and well-being and can independently make behaviour choices.
