We aim to deliver a PSHE curriculum which is accessible to all and which will maximise the outcomes for every child so that they will become healthy, independent and responsible members of a society who understand how they are developing personally and socially, and give them confidence to address many of the moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up. We provide our children with opportunities for them to learn about rights and responsibilities and appreciate what it means to be a member of our culturally diverse society. Our children are also encouraged to develop their sense of self-worth by playing a positive role in contributing to school life and the wider community.

The skills that are taught and developed over a child’s time at Holme Slack Community Primary school will not only help them stay safe and healthy but also provide them with the knowledge and confidence to make responsible decisions relating to sensitive issues that will arise throughout their life and promote their ability to nurture positive mental health and well-being.

Our PSHE curriculum encompasses the compulsory primary Health Education and Relationships Education (statutory since September 2020), Social, Moral, Spiritual and Cultural Education (SMSC), British Values as well as non-statutory Sex Education for children in year 6. More details can be found in our PSHE policy below.

This guide is also available in Urdu, Arabic and Somali. Please contact us if you require a copy in any of these languages.
