PSHE is taught at least once a week, as well as Mindful Mondays and Votes for Schools. Often, the three subjects interconnect very well as Votes for Schools regularly discuss current issues that could impact pupils and their families; these include issues that are happening locally, nationally and even internationally.
As a school, we use Jigsaw, which is a primary PSHE scheme including statutory Relationships and Health Education. In a spiral, progressive programme, it gives the children relevant learning experiences to help them navigate their world and to develop positive relationships with themselves and others.With strong emphasis on emotional literacy, building resilience and nurturing mental and physical health, Jigsaw 3-11 properly equips schools to deliver engaging and relevant PSHE within a whole-school approach. Jigsaw lessons also include mindfulness allowing children to advance their emotional awareness, concentration and focus.
Pupils at Parsloes are taught how to positively become members of their community. We ensure that through the school, children take part in national events such as Children in Need and Anti-Bullying Week; understanding how they can help the community they live in. With the use of circle time and discussions in class, pupils are able to express their opinions in a safe environment and listen to differing views respectfully.
