PSHE (Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education)

Intent:

Linking in the needs of our children, we want to provide the knowledge, understanding and skills they need to manage their own lives now and in the future, enabling them to develop the qualities and attributes they need to thrive as individuals, family members and members of society as a whole.

Implementation:

Mrs. Bingley is our PSHE Co-ordinator.

At St. Mary's, PSHE is taught through "Personal, Social and Emotional Development"  within the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum in Acorn and Chestnut (Nursery and Reception):

Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage

We follow the Government Guidance for teaching PSHE in Birch to Oak (Years 1 to 4):
