Intent At Hemington, the curriculum for PSHE/Citizenship links closely to our policies and practices promoting safeguarding, social, moral, spiritual and citizenship development, British values and protected characteristics. It also plays an important role in implementing the protected characteristics of The Equality Act 2010. The PSHE curriculum helps children to develop the knowledge and skills needed to access the wider curriculum. It encourages them to work collaboratively with others and to make a positive contribution to the life of the school. Ultimately, the curriculum will prepare children to be a global citizen in a diverse society and the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences they can look forward to in later life. The curriculum will be progressive and will reflect the needs of our children within the core themes of health and wellbeing, relationships and living in the wider world. Each phase builds on the vocabulary, knowledge and skills taught previously to allow children to acquire further knowledge, know more and remember more. Teachers will use the Jigsaw PSHE programme to equip children with an age-appropriate, sound understanding of risk, developing the knowledge and skills necessary to make safe and informed decisions and to recognise the importance of their own mental health and well-being. The curriculum incorporates an age appropriate understanding of RSE, as set out in the statutory guidance. All children will learn how to keep safe and how to develop healthy relationships both now and in their future lives. Weaving through the heart of our PSHE teaching, is a commitment to enhancing and promoting our core school values: respect, responsibility and readiness. Implementation The teaching and learning of PSHE is taught through the Jigsaw PSHE Scheme. Through the use of Jigsaw, our children acquire the knowledge, understanding and skills they need in order to manage their lives now and in their futures. Our PSHE curriculum develops the qualities and attributes that children need to thrive as individuals, family members and members of an increasingly complex national and global community. Jigsaw is implemented throughout the whole school during weekly whole class Jigsaw lessons, which focus on a different topic each term. The knowledge, skills and understanding gained from these lessons is also woven into our strong, caring relationships and nurturing learning environment, where everyone is supportive and encouraging and where our children have the confidence to apply the skills that they are developing and make links to other areas of learning. Jigsaw consists of six half-term units of work (Puzzles), each containing six lessons (Pieces) covered each academic year. Term 1: Being Me in My World Term 2: Celebrating Difference (including anti-bullying) Term 3: Dreams and Goals Term 4: Healthy Me Term 5: Relationships Term 6: Changing Me (including Sex Education) Impact By the time that our children leave School, we want them to be able to approach a range of real life situations and apply their skills and attributes to help navigate themselves through modern life. It is our aim for all children to have a ready willingness and ability to try new things, push themselves and persevere. We want all of our children to have a good understanding of how to stay safe, healthy and develop good relationships. Our children will have a tool kit to be able to look after their mental health and wellbeing. Through the teaching of PSHE, we want all pupils to have an appreciation of what it means to be a positive member of a diverse, multicultural society, with a strong self-awareness, interlinked with compassion of others. Our PSHE learning is carried out through cycles so all skills and knowledge are covered over a two year period.

Everyone's Welcome At Hemington, we are committed to preparing our children for life in the diverse society, which is modern Britain today. We are proud to be an inclusive school that embraces equality and diversity - something that is strongly reflected in our core vision, values and ethos. Therefore, in order to enable us to further promote an ethos of inclusion and tolerance, we have decided to incorporate the ‘Everyone’s Welcome’ programme into our PSHE lessons. What is ‘Everyone’s Welcome’? It is a whole school approach that uses the ‘No Outsiders’ resources and framework to teach children about equality and diversity, in line with British Values, Ofsted guidelines and the Equality Act (2010). ‘No Outsiders’, a scheme that provides teachers with a curriculum that promotes equality for all sections of the community, was written originally in 2015 by practising Deputy Headteacher, Andrew Moffat. His work to promote equality has been globally celebrated. Teaching and Learning Approaches The ‘Everyone's Welcome’ programme uses storybooks, lesson plans and assemblies to create and support the development of a whole school community that embraces and celebrates all forms of difference. The scheme includes six lessons for every primary school year group (EYFS- Y6) based upon a selection of picture books. Issues addressed include gender and gender identity, religion, sexual orientation, disability and age. Benefits to pupils Our commitment to community cohesion through promoting understanding and acceptance of difference means that the programme will enhance our current PSHE work exceptionally well. It will provide a whole school approach that promotes and celebrates diversity and will help us to create an environment where children feel happy and excited about living in modern Britain. Benefits to pupils will include: · Increased self-esteem from a feeling of belonging · Resilience from knowing who they are · Preparation for life in modern Britain · Reduce potential for radicalisation · Whole school approach with difference and diversity celebrated throughout the school everyones_welcome_long_term_overview.pdf everyones_welcome_leaflet.pdf Sex and Relationship Education The purpose of statutory RSE and non-statutory Sex Education is to assist young people to prepare for adult life by supporting them through their physical, emotional and moral development.
