Personal, Social, Health and Emotional Development (PSHE)
PSHE at The Beacon
At Beacon CE Primary School, Personal, Social, Health, and Emotional (PSHE) development is a core part of our curriculum, taught weekly and enhanced through key events throughout the year. Our PSHE curriculum promotes pupils’ personal, social, and emotional growth alongside their health and well-being, providing them with the knowledge and skills to lead confident, healthy, and independent lives.
PSHE supports students in understanding their personal and social development and addresses the moral, social, and cultural issues that are part of growing up. It also instils an understanding of their rights and responsibilities as good citizens.
Our curriculum is structured around age-appropriate objectives to ensure students receive a well-rounded, balanced education that prepares them to face daily challenges. Our long-term plan is divided into three core themes: Health and Wellbeing, Relationships, and Living in the Wider World, which includes economic well-being and introductory careers education.
Within each theme, we cover a variety of topics, from emotional resilience and healthy relationships to understanding personal finances and citizenship. Enrichment opportunities further deepen this learning, equipping pupils with the knowledge and skills to stay safe, make informed decisions, and prepare for the world of work and adult life.
