PSHE

I am a heading

I am a philosopher

Being a Philosopher:

Curriculum Group: Miss Caffrey & Mrs Ackland

 Intent:

A philosopher leaving BLC at the end of Year 6 will have received personal, social, emotional and health education with a big focus on emotional literacy and mental health to produce active and reflective citizens of the world.

Implementation:

We teach PSHE in weekly dedicated slots following the Jigsaw curriculum ensuring planned progression throughout the years. Jigsaw is a mindful approach to PSHE in a progressive and spiral scheme of learning. In lessons, Jigsaw ensures that learning from previous years is revisited and extended, adding new concepts, knowledge and skills, year on year as appropriate.

Impact (how we will know if we’ve been successful):

We know that we have created a philosopher if children can:
