The Reddings Primary & Nursery School

PSHCE Intent, Implementation and Impact

Intent

To develop emotionally literate children, who are well informed, respectful of others and prepared for life beyond The Reddings.

We want all children to feel valued and value one another and to be responsible, respectful, and tolerant individuals within our school and wider community, whilst keeping themselves safe and healthy.

Implementation

Our PSHCE curriculum is delivered using the JIGSAW scheme of work. The scheme of work is taught in thematic units, each consisting of six lessons. The themes support social, moral, spiritual and cultural development. The scheme of work fulfils the requirements of the 2020 Statutory
Relationships and Health Education. Within each theme there is a focus per week. While the whole school follow the same focus each week, the teaching is differentiated to suit the age of the children. The focus of the week is introduced in a weekly JIGSAW assembly, This is then followed up by a JIGSAW lesson in class. There is the opportunity to challenge the children to extend this learning into their wider life. An over view of what is covered in the themes is as follows:
