PSHE

Personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education
is an important and necessary part of all pupils’
education. All schools should teach PSHE, drawing on
good practice, and this expectation is outlined in the
introduction to the proposed new national curriculum.

PSHE

• PSHE is non-statutory - flexibility to adapt
• Government’s expectations of PSHE is to equip
  pupils with:
  • a sound understanding of risk
  • the skills and knowledge to make safe and
    informed decisions

All children have had an experience in the SCARF Life
Space when we launched the SCARF programme in
January.

Relationships Education
• The school aims to support parents in their responsibilities in
  the education of their own children in relationship matters
  which are better taught and understood in a family setting.
• Our aim in school is to provide children with a moral
  framework as well as the biological facts about their bodies. In
  addition, children will be encouraged to be open and to be
  able to ask questions and make decisions.
• The understanding of relationships and responsibilities, their
  emotional and caring aspects, are central to our aim. This
  would include children’s self-respect, self-image and their
  respect of others. Our approach will be non-judgmental and
  non-threatening, taking account of the variety of family
  circumstances from which our children come.
• Open channels of communication between home and school.

Relationships Education
• Relationships Education at Pinewood Infant School is part of the
  personal, social, health and emotional education of the child.
• Our aim in school is to provide children with a moral framework as
  well as the biological facts about their bodies. In addition, children
  will be encouraged to be open and to be able to ask questions and
  make decisions.
• We will focus on supporting the children in knowing who their
  trusted adults are and that their trusted adults might be different
  from other people's trusted adults, e.g. mum, dad, gran, two
  mums/dads/ foster carer/step-mum, teacher, etc.
• We will reinforce the message that families, no matter what the
  structure is, are there to love and care for us and keep us safe.
• The school approach to Relationships Education will support parents
  in this aspect of their child’s development and, therefore, is a
  collaborative process.
