PSHE Intent

At Collingbourne CE Primary we believe PSHE education gives pupils the knowledge, skills, and attributes they need to keep themselves healthy and safe and to prepare them for life and work in modern Britain. Our teaching of PSHE holds children at its heart, helping children understand and value how they fit into and contribute to the wider world. With strong emphasis on emotional literacy, building resilience and nurturing mental and physical health, we aim to nurture children as a whole supporting them to navigate changes within themselves, their peer groups and society.

 PSHE is a whole school approach taught through the SCARF scheme of work. The intent of our PSHE curriculum is to equip our children with relevant and meaningful content.

The SCARF Programme offers us a comprehensive, carefully thought-through Scheme of Work which brings consistency and progression to our children’s learning in this vital curriculum area.

 SCARF PSHE helps us to develop the “whole child” through a spiral curriculum approach to developing knowledge, skills and understanding in the areas of;

• Me and my relationships
• Valuing Difference
• Keeping safe
• Rights and respect
• Being my best
• Growing and changing

 Here, at Collingbourne CE Primary School we value PSHE as one way to support children’s development as human beings, to enable them to understand and respect who they are, to empower them with a voice and to equip them for life and learning.
