Implementation:
PSHE is taught through a weekly class lesson and Circle Time, through whole school assemblies and events such as Healthy Week and Walking to School Week. We are beginning to implement the Seal Programme which covers the Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning throughout the school.
We have been accredited with Healthy Schools Status and continue to develop Drug Education and Sex and Relationship Education in our curriculum. We also promote healthy food and safe healthy lifestyle choices including opportunities for physical activity.
