PSHE

"No act of kindness, no matter how small, is wasted."

Aesop

Intent

At Trinity All Saints Primary School we believe that each individual child is very important. We 
are committed to offering an inclusive curriculum to ensure the best possible progress for all 
of our pupils, whatever their needs or abilities, so that they can reach their full potential and 
grow into the very best versions of themselves. We feel that their contribution to school life 
should be valued and we seek to build their self-esteem.
Our PSHE curriculum develops learning and results in the acquisition of knowledge and skills 
which will enable children to access the wider curriculum and prepare them to be a global 
citizen now and in their future roles within a global community. It promotes the spiritual, 
moral, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils, preparing them for the 
opportunities, responsibilities and experiences for later life. Our Relationships and Sex 
Education enables our children to learn how to be safe, and to understand and develop 
healthy relationships, both now and in their future lives.


Implementation 


Our whole curriculum is shaped by our school vision which aims to enable all children, 
regardless of background, ability, or additional needs, to flourish to become the very best 
version of themselves. We teach the National Curriculum, supported by a clear skills 
progression throughout the school. 
At Trinity All Saints, Key Stage 1 and 2, PSHE is taught through a clear and comprehensive 
scheme of work in line with the National Curriculum. We ensure we cover the Health and 
Well-Being, Relationships and Living in the Wider World Learning Opportunities set out in the 
PSHE Association’s Programme of Study, which comprehensively cover the statutory Health 
Education and Relationships Education guidance.


Pupils are taught PSHE using ‘SCARF’ which is a spiral, progressive scheme of work, covering 
all of the above and 'aims to prepare children for life, helping them to know and value who 
they are and understand how they relate to other people in this ever-changing world’. 


Our PSHE programme deals with the diverse beliefs, values and attitudes that individuals and 
societies hold. It helps pupils to develop themselves, their understanding of the world, and 
their ability to communicate their feelings. Children at Trinity also acquire an understanding 
and experiences of British values that are necessary if they are to make sense of their 
experiences, value themselves, respect others, appreciate differences and feel confident 
and informed as a British citizen.


At Trinity All Saints, in addition to Relationships Education, we also teach aspects of Sex 
Education that is covered in our Science curriculum. Alongside this we teach about different 
kinds of relationships, including same sex relationships, and gender identity because it is 
important that our children should have an understanding of the full diversity of the world 
they live in and be prepared for life in modern Britain.


Impact 


We strive for our children to grow into the very best versions of themselves. By the time the children at Trinity leave our school they should have developed:

  • A secure knowledge and understanding of real life situations and how to apply their skills to help navigate themselves through modern life. 
  • The ability to become a healthy, open minded, respectful, socially and morally responsible, active member of society
  • To value difference and diversity. 
  • To recognise and apply the British Values of Democracy, Tolerance, Mutual respect, Rule of law and Liberty
  • Understand, communicate and manage their own emotions. 
  • To be able to look after their own mental health and well-being
  • To be able to develop positive, healthy relationship with their peers both now and in the future.
  • To understand the physical aspects involved in RSE at an age-appropriate level
  • To have respect for themselves and others.
  • To have a positive self esteem
