PSHE and RSHE
At Lily Lane we believe that Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHE) and Citizenship should underpin all the work we do so children are equipped to make safe and informed decisions to become responsible, resilient, global citizens.
In EYFS, we follow the ‘Think Equal’ Programme, a curriculum-based programme that supports social and emotional development in the early years. It is rooted in mental health and social justice and aims to build a strong foundation for individual and societal progress. In KS1 & KS2, we teach the Jigsaw scheme which follows the Statutory frameworks for KS1 & KS2 and other statutory guidance for PSHE education provided by the Secretary of State and the PSHE Association. Jigsaw, the mindful approach to PSHE, brings together Personal, Social, Health Education, emotional literacy, social skills and spiritual development in a comprehensive scheme of learning. These resources help teachers to focus on tailoring the lessons to their children’s needs and to enjoy building a relationship with their class and getting to know them better as unique human beings. Jigsaw is designed as a whole school approach, with all year groups working on the same theme (Puzzle) at the same time. This enables each Puzzle to start with an introductory assembly, generating a whole school focus for adults and children alike.
