PSHE

(Personal, Social and Health Education)

PSHE helps to give children the knowledge skills and understanding they need to live confident, healthy and independent lives and to interact with others in a positive and productive way.

At Oughtibridge we teach PSHE discretely and as part of other subjects, but it also underpins the whole school experience. Children are encouraged to take part in a wide range of activities within and beyond the curriculum and to contribute fully to school life. To this end we run a wide range of school clubs and have an active School Council with elected representatives from across the age range.

Since January 2006 we have been involved in an exciting, two year, national initiative, known as SEAL (Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning), which gives recognition to the links between emotional and social well being and the ability to benefit from learning opportunities. This project is helping to raise the profile of PSHE and providing us with training and resources to improve teaching and learning experiences. So far the response has been very positive, especially from the children.

As from June 2006, Oughtibridge Primary School is now a lead school in the Sheffield Local Authority in SEAL and SEAL is now embedded and forms the core of our PSHE curriculum.
