It is our intent that personal, social, health and economic education (PSHE) enables our children to become healthy, independent and responsible members of society. It aims to help them understand how they are developing personally and socially, and tackles many of the moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up. We provide our children with opportunities for them to learn about rights and responsibilities and appreciate what it means to be a member of a diverse society. Our children are encouraged to develop their sense of self-worth by playing a positive role in contributing to school life and the wider community so that they develop life-long skills.
At St Uny CE Academy we use the SCARF PSHE scheme. Please find a link to the SCARF website below:
SCARF programmes are aligned with the National Curriculum guidance as detailed in the link below:
SCARF provides a comprehensive spiral curriculum for PSHE education, including mental health and wellbeing. Using SCARF across all age groups ensures progression in knowledge, attitudes and values, and skills – including the key skills of social and emotional learning, known to improve outcomes for children.
Class teachers use SCARF resources to plan and adapt each lesson to meet the needs of the children in their class, including those with SEND.
Our PSHE curriculum follows six units of study, each unit is revisited each year to enable progression in skills, knowledge and understanding.
The six units are:
Me & My Relationships
Valuing Difference
Keeping Myself Safe
Rights & Respect
Being My Best
Growing & Changing
Below are the progression documents for each of the six units. These outline the specific learning taking place in each year group and demonstrates what PSHE looks like at St Uny CE Academy.
