At St. Margaret’s C.E. Junior School, we teach PSHE as a whole-school approach to underpin children’s development as people and because we believe that this also supports their learning capacity. We include the statutory Relationships and Health Education within our whole-school PSRHE Programme.
We value PSRHE as one way to support children’s development as human beings, to enable them to understand and respect who they are, to empower them with a voice and to equip them for life and learning.
PSRHE enables our children to become healthy, independent and responsible members of society and to celebrate diversity and treat all people with kindness and respect. It aims to help them understand how they are developing personally and socially, physically, mentally and emotionally, and tackles many of the moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up.
We teach RHE in the context of our aims and values, which is part of our wider social, moral, spiritual and cultural education. Our children’s spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) development is at the heart of our school ethos of developing the whole child.
We expect our children to live by our school motto:
Everyone is Valued / Everyone is Motivated / Everyone Achieves
In addition, our core values form the bedrock of our work on attitudes and relationships. We aim to achieve excellent behaviour and positive relationships by embedding our values through worship, PSRHE sessions, circle time and across the curriculum.
Our Core Christian Values:
Respect / Equality / Co-operation / Compassion / Forgiveness / Peace
