PSHE
Aims of PSHE at St Stephen's
PSHE lessons at St Stephen’s aim to build on our ethos of Nurture, Grow, Flourish in supporting the children to develop as confident individuals. Our progressive curriculum ensures that the children leave St Stephen’s equipped with the skills and knowledge they need to adapt to a diverse, challenging and ever-changing world.
The PSHE curriculum is taught using the Jigsaw PSHE framework which holds children at its heart, and its cohesive vision helps children understand and value how they fit into and contribute to the world.
Through using the Jigsaw curriculum, we promote the social, cultural, mental and physical development of our pupils, both within school and society as a whole. The Jigsaw curriculum actively promotes the spiritual, moral, social, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils at our school.
We offer comprehensive lessons in a progressive and fully planned series of schemes giving children relevant learning experiences to help them navigate the world and help them develop positive relationships with themselves and others.

Children learn about having a voice within their community and the importance of listening to the views of others.
Democracy is a huge part of PSHE, as PSHE teaches children to give their opinions and to empathise with other people.
We have the opportunity to explore and discuss injustices and inequalities (perceived or real) and challenge and debate these through the exploration of our PSHE topics
We have the opportunity to explore and consider different opinions and how voices are heard. |
Children are taught the importance of being a law-abiding citizen.
Children are given the opportunity to discuss various British laws and understand how they fit into society.
Children follow learning expectations in our classroom to protect the rights of all us to an education
We uphold whole-school policies with regards to homework, uniform etc.

Children are supported and actively encouraged to make choices about their behaviour, with a good understanding of the consequences in the Autumn 1 unit, Being Me in My World.

Children are taught to be aware of the lifestyles of children their age in developing countries that are not as liberated to develop their empathy skills. |
Children are encouraged to respect and understand the faiths and beliefs of others.
As a school we promote diversity and through PSHE, we encourage children to celebrate diversity and the differences which make us individuals.
Mutual respect is taught through PSHE when children take part in group discussions and activities.
