PSHE
Intent
The PSHE curriculum at Longhill aims to promote the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils at the school and of society. It prepares pupils at the school for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life.
Implementation
Jigsaw
The PSHCE curriculum is predominately delivered through JIGSAW which aims to provide pupils with the knowledge, understanding, attitudes, values and skills they need in order to reach their potential as individuals and within the community.
Pupils are encouraged to take part in a wide range of activities and experiences across and beyond the curriculum, contributing fully to the life of their school and communities. In doing so they learn to recognise their own worth, work well with others and become increasingly responsible for their own learning. They reflect on their experiences and understand how they are developing personally and socially, tackling many of the spiritual, moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up.
They learn to understand and respect our common humanity; diversity and differences so that they can go on to form the effective, fulfilling relationships that are an essential part of life and learning.
Jigsaw PSHE will support the development of the skills, attitudes, values and behaviour, which enable pupils to:
- Have a sense of purpose
- Value self and others
- Form relationships
- Make and act on informed decisions
- Communicate effectively
- Work with others
- Respond to challenge
- Be an active partner in their own learning
- Be active citizens within the local community
- Explore issues related to living in a democratic society
- Become healthy and fulfilled individuals
Restorative Practice
We believe that every member of our school community should have an equal opportunity to achieve his or her full potential regardless of race, colour, gender, disability, special educational needs or social economic background.
We believe that it is the right of all pupils to be educated in an environment free from disruption by others. This policy sets out the framework for the behaviour, responsibilities, values and attitudes expected of our community members within a Restorative Practice philosophy. Restorative Practice aims to build our Longhill community and to repair and strengthen relationships within this community. Our school embraces Restorative Practice (RP) as a means of empowering all staff members to be successful and effective practitioners within each classroom, raising standards and achievement across the school and developing aspirational, motivated and responsible pupils.
