At NCEA Warkworth Primary CofE Primary School, PSHE is not just a weekly lesson but is an integral part of everything we do. It is represented in conversations between children, between staff, demonstrated in corridors, delivered through Worship, modelled by all and linked closely to the school’s vision, values, mission and ethos. This ensures a core knowledge of personal, social, health and relationships education that goes beyond basic statutory entitlements into children being prepared for life beyond this school, ensuring that children are good citizens, forming safe, meaningful relationships with others, inspiring and transforming their minds and hearts.

In conjunction with externally accredited schemes (e.g. PSHE Association), the school then embeds this through discrete, regular, explicit teaching.

Our school values of love, courage and peace underpins all of our PSHE teaching. Through our curriculum, children at Warkworth Primary are supported to feel safe, to know what to do if they do not feel safe, and are knowledgeable about key PSHE and RSE topics.

We teach within the breadth and ambition of the national Curriculum for PSHE which aims to ensure that all pupils thrive.

We give children the key skills and attributes to navigate this ever-changing world, both online and offline.

Our PSHE lead is Mrs F Morris.
