‘Personal development underpins school life‘
‘Pupils learn to be safe and talk with maturity
about their digital footprint. They model tolerance and respect and understand equality.
Pupils talk with confidence about different faiths and cultures and the characteristics of
people in school and society’
OFSTED 2024
Our PSHE/RSE Subject Leaders are Mrs Knowles and Miss Young
At Hendal Primary School the intent of our PSHE curriculum is to deliver a curriculum which is accessible to all and that will maximise the outcomes for every child so that they know more, remember more and understand more. As a result of this they will become healthy, independent and responsible members of a society who understand how they are developing personally and socially. It will give them confidence to tackle many of the moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up. We provide our children with opportunities for them to learn about rights and responsibilities and appreciate what it means to be a member of a diverse society. Our children are encouraged to develop their sense of self-worth by playing a positive role in contributing to school life and the wider community.
PSHE & RSE
We launched the PSHE scheme of work called Jigsaw in September 2021. Since that we have been able to adapt and personalise the approach to ensure we meet the needs of our children and our local community. Our PHSE curriculum goes beyond the JIGSAW scheme and we offer may links and opportunities to develop children holistically.
Jigsaw is a whole school approach which develops children’s Mindfulness and Emotional Literacy skills as well as their PSHE skills.
Please see the Jigsaw page of the website for more information. You can also access the Jigsaw policy which includes PSHE, Relationships and Sex Education.
Our PSHE offer for children at Hendal Primary School is carefully planned to incorporate the school curriculum drivers. We are proud of the personalised curriculum and opportunities that we provide to the children in our care and through teacher assessments can see the positive impact it has on all children.
