Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education including relationships curriculum- statement of intent at The Grove
Intent
At The Grove School PSHE is at the centre of all we do for this is what helps children understand their human world around them and find what their contribution to others and the wider community and society in general looks like.
It is also how they begin to understand themselves and how they can live happy and fulfilling lives.
Implementation
We aim that PSHE is a personalised approach to learning and that some children benefit from additional pastoral care which helps to build these skills for life. All children will be taught how to develop these skills for life and will be supported through their learning process.
Personal, social, health and economic education (or PSHE for short) covers a lot of subject matter that we feel strongly about sharing with children to help them to grow up wise and wonderful in the world today.- mental health
