PSHE and RSE at Buxworth Primary School
At Buxworth Primary School we believe that “PSHE is central to giving pupils the knowledge, skills and understanding they need to lead confident, healthy, independent lives and to become informed, active and responsible British citizens. PSHE enables students to understand and respect our community, humanity, it’s diversity and its differences to that they can go on to form the effective, fulfilling relationships that are an essential part of life and learning.”
“Safeguarding is a key element of PSHE as pupils learn about their own identity, risks, decision-making and how to keep themselves safe. PSHE helps pupils to learn to recognise their own value, work well with others and become increasingly responsible for their own learning. They can 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. PSHE doesn’t just exist within the curriculum. The wide range of activities and experiences that schools offer beyond the curriculum in which pupils contribute to their school life and community, are a key part of PSHE. For truly effective PSHE, the whole school ethos will support the curriculum and principles.”
