PSHE (Personal, SociaL & HEALTH EDUCATION)
Personal, Social and Health Education and Citizenship (PSHE) is central to the educational entitlement of all children at Rupert House School and permeates all aspects of school life.
It gives the children the knowledge, skills and understanding they need to lead confident, healthy and independent lives. It also helps them to recognize how they are developing personally and socially and prepares them for the many moral, social and cultural issues that they will come across as they grow up.
The children explore a range of issues in PSHE and Citizenship. The programme is designed to help them develop self-esteem, self-confidence and self-worth.
By building positive working relationships between children and staff, all members of our school family are valued as individuals and pupils are encouraged to see the need for good manners, self discipline and appropriate behaviour.
We provide opportunities for PSHE and Citizenship through a variety of strategies
- Individual or group work
- Active involvement and participation through discussion and role play
- Providing opportunities for the children to share their thoughts and feelings, hopes and aspirations
- Positive self assessment through reflection
- Outings and visits within the community
- Consolidation and reinforcement in the form of written work.
- Encouraging children to make choices and take responsibility
- Form teachers making time and space available to talk and listen to pupils through a variety of means eg, feelings and news board in Y6, things that make us happy board in Y4
