At Greenfields; every lesson is a PSHE lesson…
Through Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education, 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 education also helps pupils to achieve their academic potential.
At Greenfields Academy our intention is to develop and implement a comprehensive PSHE curriculum that reflects the statutory guidance and meets the requirements outlined in the PSHE Association’s programme of study. Our spiral curriculum ensures that key topics are revisited, enabling students to build upon prior knowledge and skills as they progress through their education.
Our PSHE curriculum is designed to promote our school values of P.A.C.E. – Personalised, Aspirational, Caring and Engaging and is underpinned by our purpose ‘ To support pupils and their families to gradually overcome the barriers to education they have encountered and enable confident access to future opportunities; however, and whenever they arise.
At Greenfields, we believe that PSHE should enable pupils to become healthier, more independent and more responsible members of society. We encourage our pupils to play a positive role in contributing to the life of the school and the wider community. In so doing, we help develop their sense of self-worth. We ensure that the pupils experience the process of democracy through the election of the school council. They are encouraged to voice their views, ideas and opinions through this process, thus making a positive contribution to the school community. Through British Values, the pupils find out about the main political and social institutions that affect their lives and about their responsibilities, rights and duties as individuals and members of communities. We teach pupils both about their rights and about their responsibilities. They learn to appreciate what it means to be a positive member of a diverse and multicultural society.
Greenfields PSHE curriculum is supported by resources from EC Publishing, if you wish you can have a look at some of their resources over at https://ecpublishing.co.uk/
