PSHE

Our PSHE Intent

We believe that a comprehensive PSHE curriculum helps pupils to develop the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to thrive as individuals, family members and members of society. From making responsible, healthy choices to building resilience, our PSHE education helps pupils to manage many of the most critical opportunities, challenges and responsibilities they will face growing up.

PSHE at Riverbridge nurtures and supports children's personal growth into happy, healthy adults. The Jigsaw scheme allows children to learn using a spiral approach, building on their knowledge of each puzzle piece topic as they progress from EYFS through to the end of KS2. 

Whilst PSHE education remains a non-statutory subject, section 2.5 of the National Curriculum framework document states that:

‘All schools should make provision for personal, social, health and economic education (PSHE), drawing on good practice.’

Furthermore, at Riverbridge, we believe that the teaching of PSHE enables our children to have a good understanding of their emotions and their role in the community.
