'Become the change in the world you want to see' Mahatma Gandhi
At East Park, our weekly PSHE sessions throughout school are called 'Growing Hearts and Minds' sessions.
We believe that PSHE is an integral part of our curriculum because it…
- Enables pupils to develop the knowledge, skills and understanding they need to lead confident, healthy, independent lives and to become informed, active responsible citizens.
- Allows all children to enhance their moral, social and cultural development.
- Develops the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to manage their lives, now and in the future.
- Helps children and young people to stay healthy and safe, while preparing them to make the most of life and work.
- Enables them to make an active contribution to their communities.
- Helps pupils to achieve their academic potential.
Without PSHE, children would not be able to…
- Engage with current issues.
- Make clear informed choices about new challenges and critical opportunities that will arise as they grow up.
- Become responsible adults.
- Develop effective and safe relationships.
- Assume greater personal responsibility and manage personal safety, including online.
- Manage the physical and emotional changes at puberty
