The Curriculum
Personal, Social, Health Education & Citizenship
We aim to encourage children to include simple rules of bodily care, good health and an awareness of suitable diet in our Health Education policy.
We actively encourage children to become good citizens by participating in a range of activities and experiences such as taking an active part in the life of the community and considering others.
Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning (SEAL) are taught using Primary Strategy Materials. These are available on the Standards Site and include materials for families to use at home. We believe that strengthening children's emotional intelligence will help them to become better learners and more self-assured citizens. Sometimes the materials can be used with individuals where a need is perceived. We have also piloted 'Miss Dorothy.com' a PSHE programme designed to meet similar objectives with Years 3 and 4. This has been well received by the children in these year groups.
