PSHE is a non-statutory subject. At Gayton, we tailor our PSHE programme to reflect the needs of our pupils: the programme aims to equip pupils with a sound understanding of risk and the knowledge and skills necessary to make safe and informed decisions. The programme incorporates the DfE non-compulsory Citizenship programme of study and also the Relationships and Health Education framework that was made compulsory in 2021.
By the end of Year 5, children should be able to:
- Recognise their own and other people’s personality traits, individual preferences and characteristics
- Demonstrate speaking and listening skills
- Demonstrate strategies for calmness
- Demonstrate respectful interactions with others
- Understand that sometimes non-verbal signals can be misinterpreted by others and develop strategies for dealing with this
- Demonstrate speaking and listening skills
- Know that it is OK to make mistakes
- Know where to go for help
- Identify ways of helping and supporting friends under pressure
- Recognise peer influence
