PSHE
For children to be prepared for life's challenges and opportunities, it is vital that we not just prepare them intellectually but physically, emotionally, socially and mentally too.
Children at Heighington CE Primary School love PSHE
... and so do the teachers!
At Heighington, we whole heartedly believe in the development of the 'whole child' and so it is our intention that every child leaves our school with the building blocks they need to enable them to lead confident, healthy and independent lives. We recognise and very much value the importance of preparing our children for the challenges and opportunities of the ever-changing modern world.
Curriculum Intent
RSHE
How we approach PSHE at Heighington
At Heighington, we adapt our PSHE curriculum according to the current needs of our children, taking into account what is happening in the world around us on both a personal and global level. We believe our curriculum should be relevant, challenging and thought provoking with the child at the centre of the journey.
With that in mind, we have chosen to supplement our PSHE curriculum using resources from 1Decision.
We have chosen these comprehensive resources as they are mapped to the PSHE Association's Programme of Study. The 1Decision programme is also flexible and fun giving us the freedom to build a curriculum, alongside the use of other quality marked resources, which fits just right with the children in our school!
If you are interested in a broad, year on year, long term plan for PSHE, you can access this via the button below. Please note, that the order of lessons may alter dependent on what the children need at time of delivery.
