Our School

Personal, Social and Health Education

The teaching of Personal Social and Health Education is just one part of what our school does to help our children to develop the knowledge, skills, attitudes and understanding they need to fulfil their potential, so needs to be seen in the context of many other school activities that contribute to their personal development.

Examples of this include our assembly programme, school and community events, giving children responsibilities, School Council, trips and visits and our extra-curricular programme.

Nevertheless, the teaching of PSHE as a discrete subject is a vital way in which we can ensure that we build up the knowledge, skills and understandings that we would like our children to learn in their time at Gresham Village School and Nursery. This knowledge is founded on our school aims and values, as well as our statutory duty to ‘prepare pupils at the school for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life’ (Education Act 2002 and Academies Act 2010). Our policy has been written with regard to the Department for Education Statutory Guidance on Relationships Education, Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) and Health Education (2019) and Teaching online safety in school (2019).
