PSHCE

PSHCE stands for Personal, Social, Health and Citizenship Education.

It encompasses: Health and Wellbeing, Relationships, Living in the Wider World.  During PSHCE, the children learn about themselves, other people, rights and responsibilities and relationships. PSHCE gives children the knowledge, skills and attributes to keep themselves healthy and safe, teaching skills to prepare them for life. PSHCE is taught explicitly and embedded within other curriculum areas.

Disciplinary Concepts for PSHCE

Awareness

Interpretation

Reflection

Empowerment

The children consider the following whole school concepts questions throughout learning in PSHCE:

What does it mean to be a citizen? 

Does equality always mean treating everybody the same?

Is power always a positive thing?

Does change always make things better?

Is trade necessary?

Is being part of a community the same for everyone?

In addition to the disciplinary concepts, the children are also consider  substantive concepts within PSHCE. The substantive concepts that we develop through our PSHCE curriculum are: relationships, well being and safety.

At Stoneyholme, the UNICEF rights respecting articles are embedded into the PSHCE curriculum. These rights are linked to the values in school life and gives children the best chance to lead happy, healthy lives and to be responsible, active citizens.

During PSHCE, the children will have the opportunity to enhance their learning through Building Learning Power. We use the model of the brain, which is split into 4 different sections-  Resilience, Resoursefulness, Reflectiveness and Relationships. 

Aspects of PSHCE are taught through Picture News, this is a weekly resource which is a current news story, an image, a thought-provoking question to be discussed.
