Intent:
St. Mark's delivers a comprehensive PSHCE curriculum which is designed to give all pupils, including those with SEND, a deep understanding of emotional and social literacy, opportunities for self-development, health and life skills to use now and in the future, as well as further opportunities for deeper discussions, questioning and reflection.
The PSHCE curriculum is a carefully planned, age appropriate, spiral curriculum, based on the Curriculum map and resources provided by B&H PSHE team and is regularly reviewed and updated with any statutory changes as well as adapting our curriculum to support pupils during any global events which may impact pupil wellbeing.
PSHCE is organised into three core themes;
These core themes are explored through a range of short half termly topics, revisited within each key stage. Most PSHCE topics including, Feeling Good Feeling Safe, Relationships, Keeping Healthy & Safe and Global Citizenship, will be in taught in every year group. As the pupils revisit these topics with a different focus each year, they are able to build on previous learning, develop their understanding and have further opportunities to practice key skills, for example on resolving arguments or asking for help, in a safe learning environment.
PSHCE is taught weekly throughout the school year, and related whole school assemblies are planned to introduce and develop the learning in class. Each topic is carefully planned and delivered in 4-6 lessons over a half term. Key vocabulary is introduced and explored, and much of the learning is through discussion, whole class and group activities.

Implementation:
Impact:
The importance of PSHCE education in for example preventing bullying, prejudice, substance misuse, sexual exploitation, unplanned teenage pregnancy and in contributing to positive physical, emotional and mental health and healthy relationships is increasingly recognised. Therefore, at St Mark’s CE Primary School PSHCE education is a central part of our curriculum as it enables our pupils to build healthy friendships and relationships and keep themselves safe now and in the future. We believe that effective PSHCE education supports the teaching of behaviour for learning, growth mind-sets and values and that it contributes to the wellbeing, safety and achievement of all pupils in this school.
