At Little Green, we use PSHE to equip our pupils with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes they need to lead healthy, happy, and fulfilling lives. The subject covers a wide range of topics, including relationships and sex education, mental health, drug and alcohol education, financial education, and personal safety.
The key objectives of PSHE at Little Green are:
To promote the personal development of pupils: PSHE helps our pupils to develop a sense of self-worth, self-esteem, and resilience, which are essential for their personal growth and wellbeing.
To enable pupils to make informed decisions: PSHE equips our pupils with the knowledge and skills they need to make informed decisions about their health, relationships, and finances.
To develop pupils' social skills: PSHE helps our pupils to develop the social skills they need to form positive relationships with others, to work collaboratively, and to communicate effectively.
To promote health and wellbeing: PSHE promotes healthy lifestyles and helps our pupils to understand the importance of physical and mental health.
To prepare pupils for adult life: PSHE helps our pupils to develop the skills they need to succeed in the workplace, to manage their finances, and to navigate the challenges they may face in adulthood.
Overall, the intent of PSHE at Little Green is to promote the holistic development of pupils, to equip them with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive, and to prepare them for the challenges and opportunities of adult life.

PSHE (Personal, Social, Health, and Economic Education) is an important part of our primary school curriculum, as it helps children at Little Green to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes they need to lead happy, healthy, and productive lives.
Below are the steps we use to implement PSHE at Little Green:
Allocated time for PSHE: dedicated one hour per week on the timetable for PSHE lessons and activities. This is through dedicated lessons or integrated into other areas of the curriculum.
Appropriate resources: high-quality resources and materials that are appropriate for the age and development level of the children. These include books, videos, posters, and other teaching aids.
Trained staff: staff are given guidance and training in delivering PSHE so they have the necessary knowledge and skills to teach the subject effectively.
Involved parents: parents are consulted in the delivery of PSHE by sharing information about what is being taught and how they can support their children's learning at home.
Monitoring and evaluation: At Little Green, we regularly monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of PSHE delivery using staff and pupil voice, learning walks, TALT support and foundation trackers. The feedback used to make improvements and modifications to the curriculum.
Celebrated achievements: school-wide achievements of pupils celebrated through certificates, awards, and other recognition methods. This will help to reinforce the importance of the subject and motivate pupils to engage with it.
By implementing these steps, we ensure that PSHE is effectively delivered and that our pupils are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes they need to succeed in life

Assessment Guidance
PSHE is regarded as a personal and subjective subject, with all children coming with their own origin stories and specific backgrounds. At Little Green and with the new Explorer Afternoon structure, we are in the process of researching the best way to assess the subject using baseline, formative and summative assessments. We are using guidance from the PSHE association to help with this journey.

We are taking the curriculum map suggested by the PSHE Association and ensuring there is clear progression both vertically and horizontally. As part of Little Green's Living Curriculum, we are embedding some objectives into other subjects, e.g. Science, PE, REWV, computing.
We also intend to unify PSHE concurrently into the school ethos - nurturing and developing the children sense of citizenship and belonging
