PSHE
At Our Lady's, our programme of study is based around the Jigsaw Scheme. Weekly sessions are held in each classroom and some of the work contributes to a class floor book. The programme of study is suitable for all of the children within the school and covers the areas of:
1. Being Me in My World (Autumn 1)
Includes understanding my place in the class, school and global community as well as devising Learning Charters.
2. Celebrating Difference (Autumn 2)
Includes anti-bullying (cyber and homophobic bullying included) and diversity work.
3. Dreams and Goals (Spring 1)
Includes goal-setting, aspirations for yourself and the world and working together.
4. Healthy Me (Spring 2)
Includes drugs and alcohol education, self-esteem and confidence as well as healthy lifestyle choices.
5. Relationships (Summer 1)
Includes understanding friendship, family and other relationships, conflict resolution and communication skills.
6. Changing Me (Summer 2)
Includes sex and relationships education in the context of coping positively with change (includes age-appropriate sex education).
Please see our Jigsaw Subject Overview for more detail on our PSHE programme.
Relationship, Sex and Health Education
The program we use for Relationship, Sex and Health Education Programme is a scheme approved by the Diocese called Journey in Love. We use this as well as some materials from Jigsaw, the PSHE scheme we follow, ensuring this is taught inline with Christian beliefs and values.
