At Peel Common Primary School and Nursery, we regard PSHE as an important, integral component of the whole curriculum and we strongly promote our values through our day to day teaching. Our personal, social and health education (PSHE) programme, including relationships and sex education (RSE), promotes children’s personal, social and economic development, as well as their health and wellbeing. It helps to give children the knowledge, skills and understanding they need to lead confident, healthy, independent lives and to become informed, active and responsible citizens. Our children are encouraged to take part in a wide range of activities and experiences across and beyond the curriculum, contributing fully to the life and ethos of our school and community; we provide our pupils with a comprehensive enrichment programme. The children 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 in our society. It gives children an understanding of the rights and responsibilities that are part of being a good citizen and introduces them to some of the principles of prudent financial planning and understanding. They learn to understand and respect our common humanity, diversity and differences so they can go on to form the effective, fulfilling relationships that are an essential part of life-long learning.
