The school’s aims are to:

 

• Develop knowledge and understanding of important PSE ideas, processes and skills and relate these to everyday experiences, with progression for each year group.
• Encourage children to be curious about the things they see and experience and explore the world around them.
• Provide opportunities where our children can apply key skills to enhance their understanding of PSE concepts, positive attitudes and values.
• Use and understand appropriate social, emotional and behavioural vocabulary to communicate ideas; enabling pupils to manage different emotions and develop strategies to resolve conflict.
• Develop the attitudes of critical reflection, enjoyment, curiosity, perseverance, co-operation, turn taking, creativity, inventiveness, open mindedness and willingness to tolerate uncertainty.
• Develop learners’ self-esteem and a sense of personal responsibility and awareness of their rights.
• Promote self-respect, respect for others and celebrate diversity.
• Equip learners to live safe, healthy lives.
• Prepare learners for the choices and opportunities of lifelong learning.
• Empower learners to participate in their schools and communities as active responsible citizens locally, nationally and globally.
• Prepare learners for the challenges, choices and responsibilities of work and adult life.
• Promote our children’s social, moral, spiritual and cultural development.
