PSHE
At St Thomas we teach the children to become independent, responsible citizens who have an awareness of right and wrong. In-line with the curriculum, the teaching of PSHE equips pupils to leave primary education with a solid understanding of social skills, moral beliefs, sex education and radicalisation.
Health education and relationships education/RSE will become a compulsory part of the curriculum from September 2020 and we will continue to strive to meet all aspects of the PSHE curriculum.
We use a number of programs to create a syllabus which contains many units relating to current issues within today’s world and society, while providing full coverage for all areas of PSHE. Lessons are taught through a variety of teaching and learning styles such as role-play, storytelling, circle times and games and these are extremely effective when engaging pupils, making learning purposeful and have positive feedback from the pupils. In addition to this, elements of PSHE are taught subtly and embedding throughout in every contact made in or out of school, with every child, peer and adult.
There is a close relationship between PSHE and Religious Education at St Thomas’ and on many occasions the subjects overlap.
