Curriculum Intent |
| We are committed to providing an enriching and empowering curriculum that fully prepares learners for the next steps in their school career and the wider world. Our aim is to teach children how to navigate through life safely, happily and healthily. We teach children about the world around them, relationships, emotions, reproduction and health, as well as transferable skills to help with life. We consistently promote British values as well our own school ethos.
Our Health and Well-being curriculum gives the children the knowledge and understanding they need to make informed choices and to be a positive influence in the communities that they belong to. Today’s children and young people are growing up in an increasingly complex and ever-changing world. This presents many positive and exciting opportunities, but also includes challenges and risks. In this environment, children and young people need to know how to be safe and healthy, and how to manage their academic, personal and social lives in a positive way. Our aim is to develop skills and attributes such as resilience, self-esteem, risk-management, team-working and critical thinking. We believe that positive health and well-being should permeate all aspects of school life, reflecting our commitment to quality education, fostering enthusiasm for learning, and building strong partnerships. To achieve this, we employ a multi-faceted approach:

Units relate directly to one or all of the British Values’ themes and also cover Feelings and Emotions, Keeping Safe, Healthy Lifestyles, First Aid, Prevent, Valuing Difference, Rules Rights and Responsibilities, Living in the Wider World and Sex and Relationships.
