At Hanley Swan Primary School, our PSHE curriculum is designed to nurture well-rounded, resilient, and compassionate individuals. Our intent is to equip pupils with essential life skills, promote positive mental health, and foster respectful relationships.
Key aspects of our curriculum include:
Health and Well-being: We empower pupils to make informed choices about their physical and mental health. Topics include nutrition, exercise, hygiene, and self-regulation.
Relationships and Respect: Our curriculum emphasises empathy, kindness, and understanding. We explore healthy friendships, family dynamics, and respect for diversity.
Safety and Risk Awareness: Pupils learn about personal safety, online safety, and risk assessment. We encourage critical thinking and responsible decision-making.
Ambition and Aspiration: We want our children to have high aspirations, believe in themselves, and realise that anything is possible.
Financial Literacy: We introduce basic financial concepts, such as budgeting, saving, and understanding money.
Citizenship and Community: Our PSHE program instills a sense of responsibility toward the community and the environment. We discuss local issues, social justice, and global citizenship. Pupils are encouraged to be a courageous advocates - someone who supports, champions and speaks up for a cause that is important and meaningful to them.
Through engaging lessons, workshops, and real-world experiences, we prepare our students to thrive academically, emotionally, and socially. Our goal is to create confident, compassionate citizens who contribute positively to society.
