PSHE

Personal, Social and Health education (PSHE) and citizenship (C) Education enables pupils to develop the knowledge and understanding that they need to lead confident, healthy, independent lives and to become informed, active responsible citizens. 

At Foley Infants our PSHCE curriculum will support the moral, cultural, mental and physical development of our pupils, builds cultural capital and educates them for experiences in school and later in life. We believe that children should be given opportunities to engage with current issues so that they can make clear, informed choices about new challenges and critical opportunities that will arise as they grow up and become responsible adults. 

Our curriculum provides children with a wealth of learning opportunities and experiences across and beyond the classroom, children are actively encouraged to contribute fully to the life of their school and community. Children will learn to recognise their own worth, work well with others and become increasingly responsible for their own learning. Children will have a clear understanding of their role as a citizen, not only in school but in the wider community and in the world beyond.

Our PHSCE Curriculum is designed to allow each child to: 

• Recognise their own worth and develop their confidence, responsibility and ensure they make maximise their abilities 
• Collaborate and prepare them to play an active role as citizens 
• Develop positive, healthy relationships and respect for themselves and others 
• Develop a resilient, growth mind-set 
• Encourage them to develop good relationships and respect for diversity 
• Know and understand what constitutes a physically and mentally healthy lifestyle 
• Develop online and offline safety awareness 
• Be positive and active members of a democratic society 
• Develop self-belief, self-confidence and self-esteem, making informed choices regarding their personal and social situations
