Vision Statement
NN
As part of our whole school vision, we work hard to ensure that every pupil develops as a happy and successful child. There is a growing body of research that shows that pupils who are emotionally healthy do better at school and through our PSHE curriculum at Broadoak we aim to help our pupils to achieve their potential by supporting their well-being and tackling issues that can affect their ability to learn, such as anxiety and unhealthy relationships.
Our PSHE curriculum also helps pupils to develop skills and aptitudes - like teamwork, communication, and resilience - that are crucial to navigating the challenges and opportunities of the modern world, and are increasingly valued by employers. We have a responsibility to our pupils to ensure that they are taught the fundamental building blocks and characteristics of positive relationships and grow their ability to form strong and positive relationships with others. At Broadoak, we recognise that although we are all different, we all belong. We teach children to respect and value the diverse community they are a part of, with a commitment to community cohesion through understanding and acceptance of difference; we also promote an active dialogue to counter fear and hate in society. Through both explicit teaching, and as part of our whole school ethos, we encourage the development and practice of resilience and other attributes, this includes character traits such as helping pupils to believe they can achieve, persevere with tasks, work towards long-term rewards and continue despite setbacks. During key stages 1 and 2, PSHE education offers both explicit and implicit learning opportunities and experiences which reflect pupils’ increasing independence and physical and social awareness. It builds on the skills that pupils started to acquire during EYFS to develop effective relationships, assume greater personal responsibility and manage personal safety, including online.
Our PSHE curriculum helps pupils to manage the physical and emotional changes at puberty, introduces them to a wider world and enables them to make an active contribution to their communities. Alongside understanding the importance of self-respect and self-worth, pupils should develop personal attributes including honesty, integrity, courage, humility, kindness, generosity, trustworthiness and a sense of justice.
We base our curriculum on three key strands: Health and Wellbeing; Relationships and Living in the Wider World.
Our children learn about drug education, financial education, relationship education and Sex Education (RSE) and the importance of physical activity and diet for a healthy lifestyle as part of PSHE, Physical Health and Mental Health Education.
As part of our PSHE curriculum, we deliver lessons based around the No Outsiders programme which provides children with an Inclusive education, promoting community cohesion to prepare young people and adults for life as global citizens.
Aims and Objectives
At all key stages PSHE teaching aims to ensure that all pupils:
- Know and understand what constitutes a healthy lifestyle.
- Have the knowledge, skills and attitudes to make informed choices.
- Be aware of safety issues.
- Have respect for others.
- Be independent and responsible members of the community.
- Be positive and active members of a democratic society.
- Develop self-confidence and self-esteem.
- Develop good relationships with other members of the school and the wider community and understand what constitutes a good relationship.
In order to achieve our aims, we provide:
- High quality teaching and learning which enables all children to succeed and achieve
- An interesting learning environment in which children feel safe and secure
- Opportunities for children to be actively involved and engaged in their own learning, through creative approaches to learning with strong curriculum links to other subjects when appropriate
- Opportunities to promote independence
- Evaluations of children’s progress towards the Early Learning Goals and statutory guidelines which inform planning at all stages
- Effective monitoring of teaching and learning.

PSHE in Early Years
In Early Years, our PSHE curriculum aligns with the Statutory Framework for the Early Years. This is evidenced through the children meeting the Early Learning Goals for Personal, Social and Emotional Development. This can be broken down into learning about self-regulation; managing self and building relationships. Aspects of the PSHE curriculum are also taught through Understanding the World where children are encouraged to Talk about the lives of the people around them and their roles in society as well as know some similarities and differences between different religious and cultural communities in this country.
PSHE in Key Stage One
In Key Stage One, our PSHE curriculum is structured around an overarching question for each half term. These begin as 'What?' and 'Who?' questions during Key Stage One. Three core themes run through the curriculum: Health and Wellbeing; Relationships and Living in the Wider World. Our teaching builds according to the age and needs of the pupils throughout the school with developmentally appropriate learning objectives given to enable children to respond to each question.
PSHE in Key Stage Two
In Key Stage Tw, our PSHE curriculum is structured around an overarching question for each half term. These build on the questions from Key Stage One and extend the children's thinking by asking 'How?' and 'Why?' questions. Three core themes run through the curriculum: Health and Wellbeing; Relationships and Living in the Wider World. Our teaching builds according to the age and needs of the pupils throughout the school with developmentally appropriate learning objectives given to enable children to respond to each question.
