At Christ the King Catholic School, we to believe in themselves, and understand that, with determination, anything is possible. This is underpinned by our school values, particularly those of resilience, curiosity and respect.
Our PSHE curriculum equips children with the knowledge and skills to access the wider curriculum and prepares them to be responsible global citizens. We teach PSHE through Ten: Ten programme, which is a leading provider of faith-based resources for Catholic primary schools. 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 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. The intent of PSHE is also to provide a starting point for our children to develop their oracy skills. In the hope of children becoming more confident and competent in their ability to express and explain their opinions regarding school, local and global matters
PSHE lessons ensure the following core themes across all key stages:
- Health and wellbeing
- Relationship
- Living in the Wider World
It fosters their spiritual, moral, cultural, mental, and physical development, ensuring they are ready for the opportunities, responsibilities, and challenges of later life. Through our Relationships and Sex Education, delivered via ‘Life to the Full,’ children learn how to stay safe and build healthy, positive relationships both now and in the future. Each school day includes an aspect of personal development, taken either from our PSHE scheme or from the school's Thrive Approach planning and resources. We feel that ensuring our pupils are developing personally is just as an important part of our curriculum offer as their academic development.
We celebrate our diverse and amazing school community at different opportunities throughout the year.
EYFS
In the Foundation Stage, PSHE and citizenship is taught as an integral part of topic work and is embedded throughout the curriculum. The objectives taught are the Personal, Social and Emotional Development statements from ‘Development Matters in the EYFS’ and the PSED Early Learning Goals. PSHE runs across the curriculum into topic work. PSED is embedded across the Reception curriculum; it’s about making relationships, developing a sense of self and regulating behaviour.
