PSHE/SMSC is the heart of the school’s ethos and is fundamental to developing young people with positive attitudes and well-rounded members of society. By teaching PSHE/SMSC, we intend to impart pupils with the knowledge, understanding, confidence, attitudes, values and skills they need in order to reach their potential as individuals and within the community as well as knowing how to keep themselves safe.
At Bricknell Primary School, the teaching of PSHE/SMSC curriculum has been carefully considered to enable our pupils to become healthy, happy and positive global citizens. At Bricknell, we follow the Jigsaw PSHE programme and are proud to be a flagship School. Our highly skilled subject leader has carefully worked to create a Curriculum Overview Document, where objectives for each year group are progressively mapped out to ensure our pupils are given the acquired skills and knowledge the further their education journey into KS3 and life beyond the classroom. The PSHE curriculum at Bricknell Primary School is fully compliant with the 2020 Statutory Guidance.
Our aim is to provide inclusive and aspirational environments and learning experiences where pupils thrive and build the cultural capital they need to make aspirational choices about their own futures, overcoming any barriers. In order to achieve this, our curriculum is underpinned by the principles highlighted in our Aspiration Curriculum.
