PSHE

Our school’s overarching aims and objectives for our pupils are that they become equipped with a sound understanding of how to make positive choices that lead to a healthy and safe lives and to develop healthy, respectful relationships, focusing on family, friendships and community in all contexts, including online.

As part of our whole school approach, PSHE develops the qualities and attributes that children need to manage opportunities, challenges and responsibilities as they grow up, enabling them to thrive as individuals, family members and members of society.

We use Jigsaw PSHE for our curriculum planning and resources.

At Occold Primary School, in addition to weekly PSHE lessons, elements of Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education are threaded throughout our curriculum, trips and enrichment opportunities.
