Impact
PSHE at Howletch, equips children with the knowledge, understanding, skills and strategies required to live healthy, safe, creative and accomplished, responsible and balanced lives. A critical component of the curriculum provides opportunities for children to reflect on and clarify their own values and attitudes in a respectful manner. As part of a whole- school approach, PSHE education develops the qualities and attributes pupils needs to thrive as individuals, family members and members of society. It also makes a significant contribution to pupils’ spiritual, moral, social, and cultural (SMSC) development, their behaviour, and safety and their emotional well-being.
PSHE in the Early Years:
PSHE sits within the areas of personal, social and emotional development and understanding of the world. From an early age, the children at Howletch Primary School learn to develop respectful communication and they are aware of the feelings and wishes of others. From Pre-School age the children participate in weekly Happy-Centred Schools social circle time. The continuous provision is planned to provide the children with the opportunity to further develop the skills that they have learnt from Happy-Centred Schools and then to use them independently. The youngest learners in the school are exposed too and participate in upholding our British Values. The children are encouraged to listen, be kind to each other and share with others.
