PSHE CURRICULUM
At English Martyrs' Catholic Primary School we follow the Jigsaw PSHE approach to accompany our Ten Ten Living Life to the Full sessions. Central to the ethos of our PSHE curriculum is the belief that supporting our young people today will create compassionate, independent and informed adults of tomorrow. Children learn that we are all unique and that both similarity and difference is worth celebrating.
In a lesson a week for every year group, learning themes are returned to and developed each year through 6 Jigsaw units called Puzzles and 3 Ten Ten LLTF Modules starting with being Me in My World at the beginning of the school year and sequentially progressing through to Dreams and Goals in the last half term. Throughout the PSHE curriculum across the year we take part in Ten Ten lessons which further deepen our understanding of the Catholic faith. Through this scheme we cover our RSE (Relationships and Sex education) requirements.

PSHE @ ENGLISH MARTYRS'
Intent:
The aim of our PSHE curriculum at English Martyrs’ is to equip our children with the knowledge, understanding and skills to enable them to become healthy, independent and responsible members of society. It aims to help them understand how they are developing personally and socially, and tackles many of the moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up. We provide our children with opportunities to learn about rights and responsibitlies and to appreciate what it means to be a member of a diverse society. Our children are encouraged to develop their sense of self-worth by playing a positive role in contributing to school life and the wider community.
We hope to provide a PSHE curriculum that develops learning and results in the acquisition of knowledge and skills which enables children to access the wider curriculum and prepares them to be global citizens now, and in their future roles within a global community.
Our PSHE curriculum will be delivered in a variety of ways e.g. lessons, assemblies, worskshops, nurture groups and extra curricular activities. We utilise relevant external schemes e.g. Jigsaw, Ten Ten, Thrive to help our staff deliver age appropriate, differentiated content.
Our healthy school program equips children with a knowledge of food nutrition, the value of exercise and the importance of their mental health in an age appropriate way. We believe it is essential for our children to have an understanding of how their choices affect their well being – to ensure they are physically, emotionally and mentally healthy to maximise their learning experiences. Our ultimate aim is that children use their knowledge and understanding to become happy and healthy adults.
