PSHE

PSHE is an important and necessary part of the broad and balanced curriculum offered at Ben Jonson Primary School and promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of our pupils. It is taught weekly across the school.  Through a range of engaging and age-appropriate lessons, activities, games and stories, children are equipped with a sound understanding of risk and how to make informed decisions, reflecting the needs of the school and the community it serves.   These lessons prepare children for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life. 

We have made use of the concept of a spiral curriculum, revisiting themes relevant to development at different stages with varied complexity and depth. The broad areas we have chosen to include are:

• Anti-bullying Drugs, alcohol and tobacco education
• Economic wellbeing and financial capability
• Emotional wellbeing and mental health
• Healthy lifestyles, including the importance of exercise and a healthy diet
• Relationships, health and sex education, Safety, including physical and on-line safety

The lessons are grouped under 6 main themes which change every half-term:

• Being in My World
• Celebrating Difference (which incorporates Anti-bullying Week)
• Dreams and Goals
• Healthy Me
• Relationships and Changing Me 

Relationship and Sex Education (RSE)

It is personalised to reflect the unique needs of our community. Our curriculum enables children to tackle barriers to their learning, raise aspirations and aims to improve the life chances of all our children. Our curriculum helps keep children safe, mentally and physically healthy and prepared for life and work.
