Personal, Social & Health Education
CLICK HERE FOR THE PSHE CURRICULUM OVERVIEW
PSHE (Personal, Social, Health Education) provides pupils with the knowledge, understanding, attitudes, values and skills they need in order to reach their potential as individuals and within the community. Our PSHE scheme aims to help children know and value who they really are and how they relate to other people in this ever-changing world.
Many of the PSHE lessons will come from the Manchester Healthy Schools imatter curriculum, as it covers the five strands that our children will need to be happy, healthy citizens:
- Healthy Lifestyles
- Mental and Emotional Health
- Living in the Wider World
- Relationships and Health Education
- Keeping Safe
At Cheetham, pupils are encouraged to take part in a wide range of activities and experiences across and beyond the curriculum, contributing fully to the life of their school and communities. In doing so they learn to recognise their own worth, work well with others and become increasingly responsible for their own learning. They reflect on their experiences and understand how they are developing personally and socially, tackling many of the spiritual, moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up. They learn to understand and respect our common humanity; diversity and differences so that they can go on to form the effective, fulfilling relationships that are an essential part of life and learning.
Our aim is that our personalised PSHE scheme will support the development of the skills, attitudes, values and behaviour, which enable pupils to:
- Have a sense of purpose
- Value self and others
- Form relationships
- Make and act on informed decisions
- Communicate effectively
- Work with others
- Respond to challenge
- Be an active partner in their own learning
- Be active citizens within the local community
- Explore issues related to living in a democratic society
- Become healthy and fulfilled individuals
