Curriculum IntentOur aim at St. Leonard’s is to equip all children with the necessary skills to take an active role in their community and manage their lives effectively, in an ever-changing world. We understand that mental health and well-being is paramount and it is therefore at the forefront in our school vision and values. We believe that all children are individuals and provide them with the opportunities they need to recognise and understand their place in society. Our challenging and exciting curriculum celebrates and upholds British Values, encouraging pupils to value themselves, appreciate differences and diversity, encourage mutual respect, be happy and feel confident and informed as a British Citizen. Our priority is to create a supportive and caring environment in which pupils feel safe to grow and develop mentally, spiritually, culturally, morally and physically. |
Our Curriculum
PSHE does not stand alone as a subject at St. Leonard’s. It is the very core upon which we base our daily learning and lives as a school community, through all subject areas. Our Christian values of community, hope, dignity, wisdom, perseverance and forgiveness provide a firm foundation for this and are central to our pupils’ mental health and wellbeing. Within school, we use the Kapow PSHE programme which is implemented across all Key Stages from Foundation to Year 6. Teachers using this scheme in progression, developing five core areas of learning: Citizenship, Economic Wellbeing, Health and Wellbeing, Safety and the Changing Body and Families and Relationships.
As we are a small school, our PSHE curriculum runs on a two-year cycle. We have carefully mapped out all areas of learning to ensure the children's knowledge and skills develop during their time with us. We teach PSHE every week. Please have a look at the long-term plans below to find out what your child will be focusing on in PSHE each term, along with the skills we'll be developing within the progression grids.
If you have any questions regarding how we teach PSHE within school, please contact Mrs Cooke, who leads the subject, on the following email address: office@st-leonards-wigginton.staffs.sch.uk
