PSHE

Personal Social Health Economic

Personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education is an important and necessary part of all
pupils’ education. All classes in Branfil will receive weekly PSHE sessions that follow a scheme called
Go Givers. Branfil also follows a values based education in which the children focus on a new value
per month.

PSHE at Branfil will vary per class as it reflects the needs of each individual child and aims to equip
pupils with a sound understanding of skills necessary to make safe and informed decisions.
Sex and relationship education (SRE) is an important part of PSHE and it is taught across the school.
It is important that sex and relationships education be taught and help develop essential skills and
attributes, such as self-esteem.

Aims

The national curriculum for PSHE aims to ensure that all pupils:
a) talk and write about their opinions, and explain their views, on issues that affect themselves and
society
b) recognise their worth as individuals by identifying positive things about themselves and their
achievements, seeing their mistakes, making amends and setting personal goals
c) face new challenges positively by collecting information, looking for help, making responsible
choices, and taking action
d) know about the range of jobs carried out by people they know, and to understand how they can
develop skills to make their own contribution in the future
e) understand what makes a healthy lifestyle, including the benefits of exercise and healthy eating,
what affects mental health, and how to make informed choices
