PSHE

At St Cuthbert Mayne, PSHE is at the core of what we do and it is underpinned by our values and Catholic ethos. Our PSHE curriculum prepares our children to live and learn in a Catholic, Christian environment now and in the future. PSHE develops the qualities and attributes our children need to thrive as individuals, family members and members of society. Our PSHE programme aims for all children to build their capacity for learning and to equip them for life.

We believe that PSHE plays a vital part of Primary education and our Catholic values, therefore PSHE is taught discretely across the school. Teachers use TenTen Life to the Full Plus to support them with planning and are guided and supported by the PSHE and RE leads to adapt aspects of the programme to ensure it is in keeping with our Catholic ethos. 

We also engage in national themed weeks and days throughout the year for example; Anti-bullying week and Safer Internet Day. Where possible we also use outside agencies to enhance our children’s learning in PSHE for example: The NSPCC, Police, Fire Service, skipping, drumming and dancing workshops.

PSHE at St Cuthbert Mayne Children reflect on their learning and record a response in their PSHE book. The emphasis is on their understanding of the issues and how they might react to different situations. The PSHE lead monitors the impact of the PSHE curriculum through discussion with staff, pupil voice, and book looks.
