Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHE)
PSHE at Bidbury Infant School
At Bidbury, PSHE (Personal, Social, Health and Economic) education is a planned, developmental programme of learning through which pupils acquire the knowledge, understanding and skills they need to manage their lives now and in the future. As part of a whole-school approach, PSHE develops the qualities and attributes pupils need to thrive as individuals, family members and members of society.
Our PSHE curriculum is based on the SCARF programme underpinned by the values of Safety, Caring, Achievement, Resilience and Friendship. The programme equips pupils to live healthy, safe, productive, capable, responsible and balanced lives. It encourages them to be enterprising and supports them in making effective transitions, positive learning and career choices to achieve economic wellbeing. A critical component of PSHE is providing opportunities for children to reflect on and clarify their own values and attitudes and explore the complex and sometimes conflicting range of values and attitudes they encounter now and in the future.
PSHE contributes to personal development by helping pupils to build their confidence, resilience and self-esteem, and to identify and manage risk, make informed choices and understand what influences their decisions. It enables them to recognise, accept and shape their identities, to understand and accommodate difference and change, to manage emotions and to communicate constructively in a variety of settings. Developing an understanding of themselves, empathy and the ability to work with others will help pupils to form and maintain good relationships, develop the essential skills for future employability and better enjoy and manage their lives.
It is important to allow children the opportunity to discuss experiences and to voice their opinions throughout each PSHE lesson/unit. Giving the children a voice helps to clarify and check their understanding; remove barriers to written work; and allows children of all abilities to contribute fully within the lesson.
The SCARF programme links to the DfE statutory requirements for both Relationships Education and Health Education. Lessons that are not part of the DfE's statutory guidance are also incuded because they ensure a comprehensive PSHE programme, including SMSC and British Values.
Key themes and topics are covered as part of a spiral curriculum delivered through half-termly units, which have the same themes across all year groups. Teachers use summative "I can..." statements at the end of each unit to assess children's progress against the key learning outcomes.

Growing and Changing learning journeys
The SCARF Learning Journeys show how the topic Growing and Changing develops from YR to Y2 in age and developmentally-appropriate ways. Children transferring to Bidbury Junior School continue to follow the SCARF programme until the end of Year 6.
The Growing and Changing Unit covers the DfE statutory RSHE requirements listed within the Changing Adolescent Body topic under statutory Health Education. As schools are expected to deliver a spiral curriculum, content is introduced in the early years; for example, the difference between girls' and boys' bodies and the correct words for external body parts is covered before later content about how and why bodies change.
Lesson content grows in complexity and maturity, in line with children's development, supporting them every step of the way.
