PSHE

Petersfield Infant School PSHE Curriculum Vision Statement

Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education is a fundamental part of our school curriculum. We at Petersfield Infant School aim to instil a nurturing environment in which each child is encouraged to reach their full potential. We celebrate each child’s uniqueness and encourage mutual respect, responsibility whilst fostering self-esteem in a happy and caring atmosphere. The teaching and learning of PSHE supports and upholds this vision. PSHE is a subject where our pupils develop the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to manage their lives, now and in the future. We strive to provide our children with skills and experiences of how they can become responsible members of society and help them to understand how they are developing socially and personally, whilst also tackling many of the diverse, moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up.

We support and encourage our children to articulate their emotions, which aids children to sustain good mental health. One of our main PSHE goals is to ensure that our children believe in themselves so that they can achieve goals, both academic and personal; to stick to tasks even when the reward may be distant or uncertain; and to recover from knocks and challenging periods in their lives.

Safeguarding and Relationship Education are also fundamental aspects of our PSHE curriculum and vision. By the end of their time at Petersfield Infant School, we ensure that we have provided our children with the skills, knowledge and ability to feel well equipped, safe and confident when approached with challenge situations. Furthermore, our children are provided with opportunities to learn about rights and responsibilities, appreciate what it means to be a member of a diverse society and are encouraged to develop their sense of self-worth as they contribute to school life and the wider community.
