Intent, Implementation & Impact for P.S.H.E
Intent
Our vision statement reflects our desire to provide the best possible education, opportunities and environment for all who are part of our school. We believe that our school should be an inclusive community where ALL aim high, achieve well and develop self-confidence, positive values and beliefs, a sense of community, well-being and caring attitudes towards others. PSHE is central to this ethos and equips children with the knowledge, skills and strategies to live healthy, safe and responsible lives.
Implementation
Our PSHE curriculum covers all areas of the subject. One timetabled PSHE lesson per week is taught throughout main school. In the Foundation Stage, PSHE is an integral part of the topic work covered during the year.
There are many other opportunities where children are involved in PSHE outside of the discreet lesson, including assemblies where a range of themes are covered. Some of these include cross curriculum teaching (e.g. RE and Geography), the school council (there are 2 representatives from each class from FS2 to Y6), joint activities between year groups such as our ‘Reading Buddies’, regular performances for parents and First Aid so that some children act as ‘First aiders’ during break times.
Impact
Monitoring and assessment is an on-going process. Teachers use ‘assessment for learning’ as to inform planning for future lessons.

Intent, Implementation & Impact for R.S.H.E
Impact
At Bacon Garth Primary School, we understand that pupils must be provided with an education that prepares them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adult life. A key part of this relates to relationships and health education, which must be delivered to every primary-aged pupil.
Relationships education focuses on giving pupils the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their wellbeing, health and relationships, and to build their self-efficacy. Health education focuses on equipping pupils with the knowledge they need to make good decisions about their own health and wellbeing.
We understand our responsibility to deliver a high-quality and age-appropriate relationships, sex and health curriculum for all our pupils. Our Relationships, Sex andHealth education will mainly be delivered through our PSHE, Computing, Science and PE curriculums; however where other high quality curriculum links can be made, we will use
these to broaden and deepen our children's understanding.
Implementation
RSE education is the school subject through which children and young people acquire the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to stay healthy, safe, and thrive now and in the future. A variety of teaching and learning strategies are used which encourage participation, with opportunities for pupils to develop critical thinking and relationship
skills.
In the Autumn term, learners will study ‘Health and Wellbeing’. This will include physical wellbeing, mental health, keeping safe in different environments, what to do when there has been an accident and about drugs, alcohol and tobacco.
In the Spring term our core theme is relationships. This focuses on families and friendships, what constitutes positive relationships and how to seek help when needed. Discussions of safe relationships and managing hurtful behaviours are also carried out. Relationship offline and online are included in this category.
Lastly in the summer term the overall theme is living in the wider world. This topic looks at shared responsibilities and how we have a part to play to help each other and to look after the environment. Economic wellbeing is studied in terms of money and aspirations, work and future careers.
Impact
By the end of their academic journey at Bacon Garth Primary School, the children will demonstrate confidence and awareness about sex and relationships in an independent and safe way. Learners will develop a good understanding about safety and risks in relationships. They will be prepared for the physical and emotional changes they undergo
during puberty. RSE will promote learners wellbeing and will prepare learners for the challenges, opportunities, and responsibilities of adult life. The RSE curriculum will have a positive impact on learners’ health and wellbeing and their ability to achieve, and this will play a crucial part in meeting these obligations.
