PSHE & RSE
At St John Fisher we aim to provide pupils with the knowledge, understanding, attitudes, values and skills they need in order to reach their potential as individuals within the community and wider world.
Pupils are encouraged to contribute fully to the life of their school and communities. In doing so they learn to recognise their own worth, work well with others and become increasingly responsible for their own learning. They reflect on their experiences and understand how they are developing personally and socially, tackling many of the spiritual, moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up. Pupils learn to understand and respect our common humanity; diversity and differences so that they can go on to form the effective, fulfilling relationships that are an essential part of life and learning.
In our school we choose to deliver Personal, Social, Health Education using Jigsaw, the mindful approach to PSHE. Jigsaw PSHE will support the development of the skills, attitudes, values and behaviour, which enable pupils to:
- Have a sense of purpose;
- Value self and others;
- Form relationships;
- Make and act on informed decisions;
- Communicate effectively;
- Work with others;
- Respond to challenge;
- Be an active partner in their own learning;
- Be active citizens within the local community;
- Explore issues related to living in a democratic society;
- Become healthy and fulfilled individuals. Alongside the ‘JigsawPSHE’ scheme of work, we use ‘Journey of Love’ to deliver the Relationships and Sex Education curriculum.
