PSHE
At St Clement's CEP, our aim is to help children prepare for their future in the ever-changing world. We understand that our children will face many obstacles and will need skills to be able to process, reflect and deal with any issues they face. This means that we must provide the children with an awareness of, and techniques to act upon, any personal, moral, social, physical and mental health problems they may face and encourage positive relationships with those they come into contact with.
The SLT, staff and Governors, work together to ensure the well-being of our children is at the forefront of all we do.
Our current PSHE programme of study is....
Jigsaw is a whole-school approach and embodies a positive philosophy and creative teaching and learning activities to nurture children’s development as compassionate and well-rounded human beings as well as building their capacity to learn.
Jigsaw is a comprehensive and completely original PSHE Education programme (lesson plans and teaching resources) for the whole primary school from ages 3-11. Written by teachers and grounded in sound psychology, it also includes all the statutory requirements for Relationships and Health Education. Sex Education is also included in the Changing Me Puzzle (unit).
Jigsaw has two main aims for all children:
• To build their capacity for learning
• To equip them for life
Please see the content overview below. The programme maybe changed or 'tweaked' by the class teachers should they feel certain elements or subjects are inappropriate or require further discussion based on the children in there care.
All puzzle pieces contain a mixture of different activities and learning opportunities, whilst being sensitive and mindful to differences within families, cultures and peoples ever-changing lives.
Should you have any further enquires please contact the PSHE lead via the school office.
RSHE (Relationships, Sex and Health Education)
From September 2020, Relationships Education is compulsory for all primary schools as set out in the DfE Guidance (2019).
Effective Relationships and Sex Education can make a significant contribution to the development of the personal skills needed by pupils if they are to establish and maintain relationships. It also enables children and young people to make responsible and informed decisions about their health and well-being. This is why the DfE recommend:
“… that all primary schools should have a sex education programme tailored to the age and the physical and emotional maturity of the pupils. It should ensure that both boys and girls are prepared for the changes that adolescence brings and – drawing on knowledge of the human life cycle set out in the national curriculum for science - how a baby is conceived and born.” (Relationships Education, Relationships and Sex Education, and Health Education, DfE, 2019, para 67).
RSHE (Relationships, Sex and Health Education) will be delivered in Terms 5/6. More info to follow.
