At Canvey Junior School, our PSHE aims are to provide a balanced and broad curriculum that enables our children to make healthy choices in order to promote their personal health and wellbeing. As a school, we emphasise the importance of PSHE throughout the life of the school, rather than there being the view that this is a ‘topic’ which can be covered in PSHE alone.

PSHE is delivered within a whole school approach which includes:

• Dedicated curriculum time (Tuesday and Thursdays) to be used to follow the Collins ‘My Life’ scheme of work and MyHappyMinds.
• Teaching PSHE through and in other subjects/curriculum areas
• Big question – weekly PSHE focussed question
• Specialised assemblies
• PSHE activities and school events e.g. Friendship Week, Health Week
• Pastoral care and guidance
• Visiting speakers e.g. St. Johns Ambulance
• Puberty and personal hygiene lessons in Upper School
