PSHE

 At Staplehurst School, we believe that that the role of teaching and learning in PSHE is to help children and young people stay healthy and safe and prepared for whatever life may through at them. Through a range of carefully planned activities and discussions we provide children with the opportunities to develop the skills and knowledge for now and in the future. This includes supporting them in the challenges that they face daily including friendships, emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing, and changes.

Through the three core themes of health and wellbeing, relationships and living in the wider world, children build on the skills that they started to develop in Early Years Foundation Stage. They extend their understanding of effective relationships, take on greater responsibility for their own actions, manage their own safety, including when online and begin to understand the physical and emotional changes at puberty.

At Staplehurst school, PSHE is a timetabled, planned subject but we also pride ourselves on reacting to children’s needs when they arise and responding with carefully considered conversations and discussions.
