Intent

At Coombe Hill Infant School, we aim to deliver a high-quality PSHE and Relationship Education provision which ensures children become healthy, positive and responsible members of our community.  Our teaching staff agree that we are aiming for the same endpoint - we want our children to be able to know and value who they truly are and understand how they relate to each other in this ever-changing world

Implementation

All staff have a clear and ambitious vision for providing high quality teaching of PSHE and Relationship Education.  Our curriculum is designed to allow children to develop and thrive in their learning and social development.  At Coombe Hill Infant School, we use Jigsaw, the mindful approach to PSHE which is a spiral and progressive approach to PSHE.  This approach brings together Personal, Social, Health Education, emotional literacy, social skills and spiritual development in a comprehensive scheme of learning.  It is a whole school approach and is delivered through assemblies and through in-class teaching. 

Impact

Teaching PSHE develops crucial life skills, enhancing emotional well-being, social abilities, and confidence, which can positively impact academic performance. It helps young children understand and express their feelings, build healthy relationships, stay safe, and learn to manage basic personal needs like hygiene and healthy eating. These skills create a positive learning environment, improve social skills, and lay a foundation for lifelong success.
