PSHE is about understanding ourselves, valuing others and developing the confidence to navigate life with kindness, resilience and responsibility.

.At Beech Grove, we believe that PSHE is fundamental to helping every child grow into a confident, healthy, respectful and responsible individual. Through our PSHE curriculum, we equip children with the knowledge, skills and understanding they need to recognise and manage emotions, build positive relationships, make informed choices and care for their physical and mental wellbeing. Following the Jigsaw PSHE programme from EYFS to Year 6, learning develops progressively as children grow, revisiting and deepening important ideas so that they are increasingly able to understand themselves, relate positively to others and make sense of the world around them.

Through an ambitious and carefully sequenced curriculum, we teach children to reflect, communicate, make thoughtful choices and understand the impact their actions can have on themselves and others. They learn about identity and belonging, similarities and differences, hopes and aspirations, physical and mental health, relationships and the changes they experience as they grow. Alongside developing knowledge, children build the social and emotional skills to recognise and regulate their feelings, listen to different viewpoints, resolve conflict, show empathy, persevere through challenges and know when and how to seek help.

As they progress through school, they explore increasingly complex ideas including rights and responsibilities, democracy, stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination, helping them develop the confidence to stand up for themselves and others and to challenge behaviour that is unfair or unkind.

PSHE extends far beyond a weekly lesson and is reflected in the relationships, values and everyday experiences that shape life at Beech Grove. We create safe and respectful opportunities for children to talk, listen, question and reflect, while working in partnership with families as children develop their understanding of relationships, health and wellbeing. Through the Jigsaw PSHE mindful approach, children also develop emotional awareness, concentration, self-regulation and strategies that support their wellbeing. By celebrating difference, encouraging aspiration and nurturing kindness, courage and respect, we help children develop a strong sense of their own worth alongside an understanding of their responsibilities towards others, preparing them for the opportunities, relationships and challenges of life beyond primary school.

Through engaging opportunities to explore, discuss and reflect, pupils are enriched by experiences that develop self-awareness, empathy and resilience, gaining the confidence to excel as healthy, compassionate and responsible individuals who are prepared to contribute positively to their communities and to life in modern Britain.

Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) Consultation 

At Beech Grove Primary School, we believe that Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHE), including Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE), works best when schools and families work in partnership.
