Our aim for PSHE is to enable our children to become healthier, more independent and more responsible members of society.  We encourage them to take responsibility for their own health and well-being and to play a positive role in contributing to the life of the school and wider community, and to prepare them for life and work in modern Britain.

At Firthmoor Primary School, we follow the PSHE Association Scheme of Work.  It is based on the three core themes of: Health and Wellbeing, Relationships and Living in the Wider World.  Teaching includes circle time sessions and group work.

Relationships Education is covered within the PSHE Scheme of Work, and puberty links to the Science curriculum.

Themes such as Anti-bullying Week and Safer Internet Day are covered as a whole school.

Visitors are invited in to enhance topics such as healthy eating and healthy lifestyles.
