PSHE (Including relationships and sex education (RSE)) at The Colleton
At The Colleton we believe PSHE and Citizenship allows our children to become healthy, independent and responsible members of society. Our pupils are encouraged to develop a sense of self-worth by playing a positive role in contributing to school life and the wider community.
Our Intent is to enable the children to:
Develop self-confidence and self-esteem and make informed choices regarding personal and social issues
For Relationships and Sex education we also focus on:
We implement a range of teaching and learning styles. The children will take part in activities that include discussions, role play, games, investigations and problem-solving. Through the year we also include a range of practical activities that promote active citizenship and British values such as charity fundraising. Children have opportunities to meet and work with members of the community e.g. members of the local church, health workers, whom we invite into school to talk about their roles. Children take different roles of responsibility during their school life and may be a school council rep for their team, monitors or peer mediators.
We follow the Jigsaw PSHE programme where each Team follows the 6 following pieces:
Each of the Jigsaw session begins with ‘Calm Me’ time which teaches the children breathing and mindfulness techniques. Please click on this link for an example: https://jigsaw3-11.com/?gfid=134
In addition to this to further enhance our PSHE provision, we also follow a Values Based Education where we focus different values each month.
