The PSHE (Physical, Social, Health, and Economic Education) curriculum at St. Leonard’s Catholic Primary School embraces each child, offering them a safe opportunity to explore themselves, relationships and the wider-world around them.
PSHE provides plentiful opportunities to voice opinions and clarify understanding, encouraging openness within discussion which contributes to the personal development of each individual. The range of aims and activities covered also help our children to appreciate the diverse communities in which we live contributing to their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. The school also has a dedicated member of staff for the pastoral care and mental health of our children, who liaises with staff and external agencies to ensure the well-being of our children is prioritised at all times.
We offer a valuable curriculum in which information is shared with our children to empower them to make positive decisions about their own health and wellbeing, allowing them to recognise when issues arise. They know how to seek support as early as possible from appropriate sources. In essence, the curriculum aims to promote positive physical, mental and emotional well-being, which is fundamental in the lives of our children both now and as they grow and mature.
