Our Approach to PSHE

Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education is a subject through which pupils develop the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to manage their lives, now and in the future.  It helps children and young people to stay healthy and safe, while preparing them to make the most of life and work (PSHE Association) 

At Bond Primary School we aim to deliver a PSHE curriculum that is accessible to all.  Through discrete PSHE sessions, weekly assemblies and focused events our aim is for our pupils to become responsible, independent, healthy and confident members of the school society as well the wider society.  

We want our children to feel confident enough to tackle any issues that may arise including moral, social and cultural ones.  Our children are supported to develop their sense of self which will in turn enable them to be a positive role model to others.  

Our PSHE curriculum at Bond has three core themes: 

  1. Health and Well-being 

  1. Relationships 

  1. Living in the Wider World 

We use a question-based approach to tackle the 3 themes, allowing the children time to think and explore and communicate their own thoughts in a safe space.  

The requirements set out in the Relationships and Sex Education and Health Education statutory framework are built into this thematic model. 

At Bond Primary School we are aware that the delivered curriculum must reflect the needs of our pupils, so though we use documents from the PSHE Association to support us in our planning, class teachers also take into account the needs of their individual pupils and will adapt the curriculum to address any issues or concerns that may arise during the course of the year.  

Through delivering our PSHE curriculum we aim for the children to leave us in Year 6 as healthy, happy and responsible members of society.
