PSHE/RSE

At Haydn, our aim is to equip children with essential life skills that enable children to become healthy, independent and responsible members of society. We encourage our pupils to play a positive role in contributing to the life of school and the wider community. In doing so we develop their sense of self-worth. We teach them how society is organised and governed. We ensure that they experience the process of democracy in school through the School Council. We teach them about rights and responsibilities. The children learn to appreciate what it means to be a positive member of a diverse multicultural society.  

In Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) we cover the strands set out by the DfE Statutory Relationships and Health Education Guidance. These include:

  • Families and the people who care for me
  • Caring and respectful relationships
  • Being safe including, internet safety and harm and online relationships
  • Mental wellbeing
  • Physical health and fitness
  • Healthy eating
  • Drugs, alcohol and tobacco
  • Health and prevention including, basic first aid

The aims of PSHE are to enable the children to:

  • Develop a sense of belonging, learning how to be part of a positive and nurturing community;
  • Learn how to work collaboratively and socialise with others building relationships with mutual respect and empathy;
  • Celebrate diversity, excepting everyone’s right to be different and understanding that others may having different faiths and beliefs;
  • Comprehend what bullying is, including cyber and homophobic bullying;
  • Realise their hopes and dreams and acknowledge their personal strengths;
  • Have aspirations for the future;
  • Acknowledge their emotional health in regards to mental health, body image, relationships with food and managing stress;
  • Establish relationships with family and friends and understand love and loss;
  • Know how to keep themselves safe, including online and through social network groups;
  • Understand the human life cycle and the transitions that their body will go through;
  • Be self-aware, motivated and be able to manage their own feeling;
  • We want our children to embody our core values; to be ready, resilient, resourceful, reflective and respectful.
