Piecing Together PSHE

Personal, Social, Health Education and Citizenship help to give pupils the knowledge, skills and understanding to lead confident, healthy, independent lives and to become informed, active, responsible citizens.

All Pupils are encouraged to take part in a wide range of activities and experiences across and beyond the curriculum contributing fully to life in school and the community. In doing so, they learn to recognise their own worth, work well with others and become increasingly responsible for their own learning. They reflect on their experiences and understand how they are developing personally and socially, tackling many of the spiritual, moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up. They also find out about the main political and social institutions that affect their lives and about their responsibilities, rights and duties as individuals and members of the community. They learn to understand and respect common humanity, diversity and differences so that they can go on to form the effective, fulfilling relationships that are an essential part of life and learning.

At Walford Primary School, we aim to:

value ourselves as unique human beings capable of spiritual, moral, intellectual and physical growth and development;
value others for themselves. We value relationships as fundamental to the development and fulfilment of ourselves and others, and to the good of the community.
value truth, freedom, justice, human rights, the rule of law and collective effort for the common good;
value the environment, both natural and shaped by humanity, as the basis of life and a source of wonder and inspiration.
