PSHE at Bracken Edge
At Bracken Edge, we are committed to ensuring our children are equipped with the social and emotional skills and awareness to develop their strength of character and become confident, resilient, accepting individuals who are prepared for the wider world. Our school values, Belong, Enjoy, Persevere and Succeed, underpin our school ethos and are interweaved throughout our PSHE curriculum and daily practice.
Through PSHE, we aim to develop pupils’ knowledge, understanding and skills to ensure children lead safe, happy and healthy lives both now and in their future. Our curriculum develops confidence, resilience, self-esteem, an ability to identify and manage risk, and an understanding and development of influences and making informed choices.
We follow the “You, me and PSHE” scheme of work from EYFS to Year 6. There are 7 strands within the scheme which lay out age-appropriate topics for the children to cover which have clear links to British Values. We have carefully designed the EYFS PSHE curriculum to align with our whole school curriculum for PSHE by aligning units to the core strands.
We have divided PSHE into 7 different strands:
· Keeping safe and managing risk
· Mental health and emotional wellbeing
· Identity, society and equality
· Relationship and Health Education and Sex education (Year 6 only)
· Drug, alcohol and tobacco education
· Physical health and wellbeing
· Careers, financial capability & economic wellbeing
