PSHE
We are currently reviewing our PSHE and RSE curriculum to ensure that it meets the requirements of the new 2020 statutory changes. This includes a review of the progression in teaching of PSHE and the vocabulary that we would like the children to use throughout the school. This should be complete by July 2020.
At Mere school we will seek to use PSHE education to ensure our children have an education that makes provision for their safety and well being within the school day and the wider world. This includes understanding British values and what it means to be British, drug education, financial education, sex and relationship education (SRE) and the importance of physical activity and diet for a healthy lifestyle.
To promote the spiritual, moral, mental and physical development of pupils at the school and in society and prepare them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adult life.
To provide pupils with accurate information regarding health related matters, to help them clarify the attitudes and values, which influence health choices.
To allow pupils to learn and be proud of their achievements by raising their self-confidence, self-worth and self-esteem.
To prepare pupils for the physical and emotional challenges of growing up.
To develop skills in personal relationships, self-esteem, assertiveness, decision-making and problem solving.
To develop a growing understanding of risk and safety and the skills which they require to make themselves safe.
