Personal, Social & Health Education

Intent

Our ambitious PSHE curriculum is designed to equip children with essential skills for life. We hope to empower and inspire students to develop the knowledge, skills and attributes children need to protect and enhance their wellbeing. Through these lessons, children will learn how to stay safe and healthy and build and maintain successful relationships. The PSHE curriculum teaches and embeds the Downside values and behaviours for learning. 

We recognise that every child is unique, and we aim to provide a PSHE curriculum that enables our students to become confident individuals. All children, including those with special educational needs and disabilities, have opportunities to develop various aspects of themselves, including their personal, social, health and economic capabilities. Additionally, our lessons are designed to encourage critical thinking, decision-making, and problem-solving skills that are essential for personal and social development.
