PSHE vision statement:-

At Grove Wood Primary School, it is fundamental that we aim to deliver a PSHE curriculum that provides all children with a range of everyday skills and strategies that enable them to grow, be confident and live a healthy, safe, happy, responsible and balanced lifestyle. We strive to offer a variety of curricular opportunities that enrich the children’s learning and encourage them to explore an extensive range of spiritual, moral, social, cultural and behavioural issues. Pupils are given the opportunity to respect others, appreciate differences and diversity. At Grove Wood children are exposed to learning all about the characteristics and importance of themselves and relationships, mental wellbeing, emotions, diversity and communities, managing risks, healthy lifestyles, rights, rules and responsibilities.

As a school we endeavour to ensure that all children are encouraged to create a personal understanding of their self-worth and given chances to challenge and explore a range of values and beliefs. It is essential that the PSHE curriculum provides pupils with the understanding, knowledge, attitude and skills they need, to reach their full potential as individuals and learn how to deal with the diverse views and values that society embraces.

'Across years 1 - 6, teachers plan PSHE lessons using the scheme '1decision' as a guide to meeting the statutory curriculum objectives.  Lessons are adapted and planned accordingly, to specifically meet the needs of the children in each class.  Children are given the opportunity to learn about important and relevant subject matters in various ways, for example going for a walk in the local area to build a deeper understanding of 'keeping safe'.
 
From September 2020, Health Education and Relationships Education became statutory in all schools across the UK. Following this decision by the DfE, 1decision created a mapping document to support schools. The resources that we may use are therefore mapped against the new statutory framework.   
The suggested topics are also mapped to the PSHE programme of study.  
 
The 1decision scheme provides 17 modules, which are recommended for students in years 1-6.
It provides flexible content, which can be used as a standalone resource or alongside additional material, to fulfil the expectations of Health Education and Relationships Education. 
 
The scheme is broken down into key stages and modules:
  • Keeping/Staying Safe
  • Keeping/Staying Healthy
  • Relationships 
  • Being Responsible
  • Feelings and Emotions
  • Computer Safety
  • Our World 
  • Hazard Watched
