PSHE

Our Personal and Social development curriculum is structured to include six overarching themes which run throughout school.  

1. Being Me in My World - Includes understanding my place in the class, school and global community as well as devising Learning Charters.
2. Celebrating Difference - Includes anti-bullying (cyber and homophobic bullying included) and diversity work.
3. Dreams and Goals - Includes goal-setting, aspirations for yourself and the world and working together.
4. Healthy Me - Includes drugs and alcohol education, self-esteem and confidence as well as healthy lifestyle choices.
5. Relationships - Includes understanding friendship, family and other relationships, conflict resolution and communication skills.
6. Sex and Relationships - Salisbury Manor uses the Waltham Forest approved ‘1Decision’ to teach the statutory guidance for Relationships and Health Education for primary schools and RSE and Health Education for secondary schools (commonly jointly referred to as RSHE), which came into compulsory effect from Sept 2020 after consultation with Stakeholders in 2020.

RSE Curriculum

Through assemblies and daily morning meetings, children learn about the achievements and life stories of inspirational people from Britain and the wider world, giving them opportunities to see what is possible and to learn that with hard work and determination, dreams can be achieved.

Children will have the ability to be reflective about their own beliefs (religious or otherwise) and perspective on life. They have knowledge of, and respect for, different people’s faiths, feelings and values. They have a sense of enjoyment and fascination in learning about themselves, others and the world around them.  

Children use their imaginations and creativity in their learning and have a willingness to reflect on their own experiences.  Children participate in and respond positively to artistic, musical, sporting and cultural opportunities.  

Children are able to recognise the difference between right and wrong and are able to apply this understanding in their own lives. They have respect for the law of England, a strong understanding of right and wrong and can reflect on the consequences of their behaviour and actions.   

Children are confident working and socialising with other pupils, including those from different religious, ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds.  They value what we have in common, as well as what makes us different.  They have a genuine willingness to participate in a variety of community events through volunteering, cooperating well with others and being able to resolve conflicts effectively.  

Children have a good understanding of the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.  All children are provided with the opportunity to be leaders within their classroom, influencing change. Children have an understanding and appreciation of the range of different cultures in the school and further afield (local, national and global communities) which is an essential element of their preparation for life in modern Britain.  

Our PSHE curriculum is also planned in a way which promotes the cultural capital of all our children. We enhance our curriculum especially for the most disadvantaged by organising guest speakers and visitors and by organising and celebrating key occasions that promote children’s emotional, social and metal wellbeing. We also provide additional opportunities through our pupil charter listing all of the key experiences our children will have participated within before they leave Salisbury Manor Primary.
