PSHE

Lead:  Cath Howson

Personal, social, health and economic education (PSHE) is a carefully planned programme of learning opportunities and experiences that supports all our work at Westminster to promote positive behaviour, mental health, wellbeing, resilience and achievement.

PSHE at Westminster provides our children with knowledge, understanding, attitudes and practical skills to live healthy, safe, productive, capable and responsible lives. It also gives our children the skills to reflect on and analyse their own values and equips them to face difficult and sometimes conflicting attitudes they may face in the future.

         

At Westminster -

  • Provision is inclusive of all pupils and consistent with the equalities duties

  • Progression is  made from Early Years, through Key stage 1 and Key stage 2 up to and including Year  6.

  • Year groups 1-6 now use the Kapow scheme for PSHE.

  • Assemblies are held in each Phase to introduce the topics each half term.

  • It also includes learning about British values and Citizenship.   

 

 

Half termly themes: 

  • How does the brain work             

  • Family and relationships

  • Health and wellbeing                 

  • Safety and the changing body

  • Citizenship

  • Economic wellbeing 

 

        

 

Working with outside agencies such as Blackpool Football Club Community Trust Fit2Go programme, Healthy Head's and The Yogi Group brings a different platform into our PSHE curriculum.

 

                                     

The curriculum has also been updated to follow the new guidelines from the Department for Education regarding the teaching of Sex and Relationship Education (SRE) appropriately across school.
