PSHRE

PSHRE

At Horton Park, we help pupils develop resilience, problem-solving, experiences, communication, vocabulary and mutual respect through the whole school drivers. In PSHRE, we ensure children learn about what makes healthy relationships, focusing on family and friendships (in a way that is age-appropriate and sensitive to faith.) 

We teach pupils about equality and diversity in the context of British values and spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. We establish clear links between individuals and the wider world through exploring a range of different scenarios and real-life examples. We develop the characteristics of a responsible citizen who is prepared for making decisions in their daily life. 

At Horton Park, we have adapted the You, Me and PSHE scheme of work to ensure that learning is personalised to suit the needs of our children and their community in line with the National Curriculum. We ensure the school's Whole School Drivers are interwoven throughout.

Our PSHE curriculum consists of the following themes:

  • Physical health
  • Keeping safe and managing risk
  • Identity, society and equality
  • Drug, alcohol and tobacco education
  • Mental health and emotional wellbeing
  • Careers, financial capability and economic wellbeing

The PSHRE curriculum provides children with the skills and knowledge to lead safe, healthy, independent and confident lives in the future as responsible citizens in modern Britain.

Our children’s physical and mental well-being is paramount to their learning and overall success at Horton Park. Children regularly learn about how to keep themselves mentally healthy and this is supported through myHappymind sessions.
