PSHE & RSE
At Hallwood Park Primary School, we follow the Coram Life SCARF (Safety, Caring, Achievement, Resilience, Friendship) PSHE scheme of work. SCARF’s whole-school approach supports us in promoting positive behaviour, mental health, wellbeing, resilience and achievement. The scheme fulfils all DfE statutory requirements for Relationships & Health Education.
Although certain aspects of PSHE may be taught explicitly, there are plenty of opportunities for cross-curricular discussion and reflection. Children are regularly given opportunities to reflect upon their own attitudes, beliefs and values, for example, within Religious Education lessons. Throughout school, our promotion of a ‘growth mindset’ pervades all subjects, encouraging resilience and aiming to establish a positive, ‘can do’ attitude towards challenges. Links to British values are also made whenever possible.
Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) is delivered in accordance with school policy. It is our practice to inform parents and carers whenever sex education lessons are due to take place, even if the content forms part of the statutory curriculum.
