PSHE

‘It is vital that when educating our children’s brains, we do not neglect to educate their hearts.’ Dalai Lama

‘Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up.’ Nelson Mandela

Why is it important to teach PSHE? 

The purpose of teaching PSHE is to enable children to become a healthy, happy, independent and responsible member of society. It is important not just to help children develop academically but as people. School has a huge role to play in this. PSHE aims to help children understand and explore how they are developing personally and socially. It tackles many of the moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up.

Key Concepts:
