PSHE

At Trinity Academy Richmond, PSHE is at the core of what we do and enables pupils to become independent, confident, healthy and responsible members of society, as well as developing the ‘whole child’ intellectually, morally, socially and spiritually. Through our whole-school approach to PSHE, it is our belief that excellence in these areas will lead to excellence across the curriculum and beyond in later life.

PSHE is taught across the school from Early Years to Year 6 on a weekly basis and as a school, we use the Jigsaw PSHE scheme to support teaching. Our PSHE curriculum equips pupils with relevant and meaningful content, which is supported through a strong emphasis on respect, building resilience and nurturing mental and physical health. With an ever-changing society, we are able to provide pupils with a strong understanding of the diverse world around them and support them in playing a positive role in contributing to the school and the wider community.

Our core aims are to provide a PSHE curriculum that builds on pupils’ individual talents and uniqueness and empowers our children to be:

• Perseverant
• Respectful
• and develop trusting relationships with themselves and others

The development of pupils as learners of the future is at the heart of what we are trying to achieve at Trinity Academy Richmond.

 Our pupils will:

• Have a sense of purpose
• Communicate effectively
• Be enthusiastic and proactive, independent learners, who want to find out about the world around them
• Develop into respectful individuals
• Know and understand what constitutes a healthy lifestyle and how to keep themselves mentally healthy
• Have the knowledge to keep themselves safe including online
• Understand what makes a good relationship with others
• Have respect for others regardless of religion, race, gender, mental or physical disability
• Be independent and responsible members of the school community and beyond
• Be positive and active members of a democratic society and be prepared for life in Modern Britain
• Develop self-confidence, resilience and self-esteem and make informed choices regarding personal and social issues
• Develop good relationships with other members of the school and the wider community, and support emotional wellbeing
• Be prepared for life, know and value who they truly are and understand how they relate to other people in this ever-changing world
• Be active citizens within the local community
