RE
RE is usually taught within discreet sessions rather than linking to other subjects, as in a project lesson, unless clear links are apparent. We follow the latest Kirklees and Calderdale Syllabus using the guidance units to ensure a full, varied curriculum. We also include class trips to places of worship so children have first-hand experiences. Our aim is to educate children about different religions and promote tolerance of others’ beliefs and cultures.
PSHE
Our children are taught PSHE in a variety of ways. They will know these sessions as ‘Jigsaw’. Within the sessions the children learn about:
- Feelings and how to manage them
- How to set themselves goals and ways to achieve them
- Changes and how to approach and embrace this
- Why we are special and unique
- How to behave with other people in a variety of relationships
- Bullying and how to deal with this.
Children in Years 5 and 6 also have dedicated lessons addressing ‘Drugs Education’ (SPICED) and ‘Relationship and Sex Education’.
