At St Agnes we aim to that personal, social, health and relationship education (PSHRE) enables our children to become healthy, independent and responsible members of a society. 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. We provide our children with opportunities for them to learn about rights and responsibilities and appreciate what it means to be a member of a diverse society. Our children are encouraged to develop their sense of self-worth by playing a positive role in contributing to school life and the wider community. They will develop self-esteem, awareness and self-confidence to play an active part in school life and be valued and valuable members of their communities.

In order for children to recognise the importance of these attributes, the seven values of the school are displayed throughout the environment as our Great Expectations. Children are reminded daily of the qualities needed in order to achieve the expected behaviour. The PSHRE curriculum is taught throughout school, during weekly sessions and one or two weekly topics each term as part of a broad and balanced curriculum. The Sticky Learning for these topics ensures the national curriculum aims and objectives are met. Also the values of resect and kindness are taught discreetly during weekly assemblies, with the Christian Values also taught during half termly assembly themes which the school council deliver and promote. The use of Kindness Elves throughout school ensure Kindness is valued and the ‘Worry Wellies’ in each class ensure children are listened to and problems are shared and dealt with. Of course, opportunities will often present themselves for an ad hoc PSHRE session in class. Examples may include a follow-up to an issue that has arisen on the playground, or if an inappropriate comment has been reported, or in response to an incident in the news. Classroom sessions will vary in form and content, but will all share the underlying principle of creating an open and honest class dialogue within a caring and respectful environment. Learning will be constantly nurtured and reinforced by our high expectations. Our Thursday Celebration Assembly is a regular opportunity to reward those who exhibit the good citizenship that St Agnes seeks to encourage. Our school year features myriad opportunities to explore Personal, Social and Health Education. These include: work carried out in class for Internet Safety Day; Kinder Kids week; Residential visits for Year Six; half-termly assemblies run by the Groundbreakers team; regular School Council meetings; the nasal flu vaccinations for Reception Class up to Year Four; Girls and Boys Talk for Year Six; our various sporting teams and clubs (including a lunchtime Leaders); the measurement of height and weight for pupils; and pupil eye tests. The charity work we undertake over the school year further explores what PSHE means for St Agnes Primary. A recent addition of a calming corner in school has also helped create a safe and reflecting area in which all children are welcomed should they feel the need to take time away from a busy classroom to collect their thoughts.
