At Sandhurst Primary School, personal, social and health education (PSHE) enables our children to become healthy, independent and responsible members of a 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 for them to learn about rights and responsibilities and 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.

PHSE is a planned programme of learning through which children acquire the knowledge, understanding and skills they need to manage their lives. PHSE develops the qualities pupils need to thrive as individuals, family members and members of society.

We follow the Jigsaw scheme of work and cover the following themes throughout the year:

• Being Me in My World
• Celebrating Difference
• Dreams & Goals
• Healthy Me
• Relationships
• Changing Me

In addition, we encourage our children to be good citizens and support the local community and charities. Each year, children from year 6 organise and run their own activities to raise money for Children in Need and other events are supported throughout the year.
