Personal, Social, Health and Economic education

Our children learn

about such topics as growing up, making friends, keeping healthy and keeping safe outside school.

We look at

rules and how laws are made in a democracy and we help develop our children's appreciation of why we need rules to protect rights and how they help us - at home, at school and in our wider communities. We find out about the work of governments and courts in creating and changing laws, and about the importance of discussion and debate and also take part in preparing and presenting arguments on topical issues.

Learning

is divided into seven themes, each of which is introduced with a whole school assembly. The themes cover a range of topics, from getting along with their classmates to setting personal goals and links are made with work in Science and PE on keeping healthy.
