PSHE INTENT STATEMENT -

At The Prince of Wales school we create an environment that is safe, caring and happy.

Personal, social, health and economic education promotes pupils’ personal social and emotional development, as well as their health and well being. It helps to give children the knowledge and skills they need to lead confident, healthy and independent lives. It aims to help them understand how they are developing personally and socially, and tackles many of the moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up. It gives children an understanding of the rights and responsibilities that are part of being a good citizen.

At The Prince of Wales School we believe that the personal, social and health development of each child, in conjunction with their citizenship skills, has a significant role in their ability to learn. We value the importance of PSHE and Citizenship in preparing children for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adult life. In addition we believe that a child needs to learn about the many emotional aspects of life and how to manage their own emotions.

At The Prince of Wales School we aim to help the children to:

1. Develop confidence and accept responsibilities and make the most of their abilities.

2. Prepare to play an active role as citizens.

3. Develop a healthy, safe lifestyle with the ability to make appropriate risk assessments.

4. Develop good relationships and respect the differences between people.

5. Make a positive contribution to the life of the school.
