Statement of Intent PSHE

Curriculum Intent Statement At St Stephen’s CE Primary School our curriculum is designed to:  Equip all children – irrespective of disadvantage or SEND – with the knowledge, skills, attitudes and aspirations to enable them to contribute to, and succeed in, future society.  Reflect the home context of many of our children by providing a broad range of memorable learning experiences, within a vocabulary rich environment, to engender positive attitudes to lifelong learning.  Ensure that all pupils ‘learn to read and read to learn’ at an age appropriate level and fluency in order to access the full curriculum offer.  Progressively build upon key skills and knowledge in a planned and coherent way – delivering high quality and timely interventions as appropriate - throughout the key stages.

Statement of Intent for PSHE  At St Stephen’s it is our intent to deliver a PSHE curriculum which is accessible to all and that will maximise the outcomes for every child so that they know more, remember more and understand more. As a result of this they will become healthy, independent and responsible members of a society who understand how they are developing personally and

socially, and give them confidence to tackle 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. The children are alive to current issues and are encouraged to express their opinions, remain open-minded and demonstrate willingness to consider new ideas.
