Intent
At Kingslea Primary School we place a high emphasis on children’s personal, social and emotional learning. We aim to develop knowledge, skills and attributes that our children need to keep themselves healthy and safe. This prepares them for life and work in modern Britain.
Implementation
Across each year, children learn through different topics such as ‘making decisions and having choices’ ‘bullying and conflict resolutions’ ‘personal organisation’ and ‘relationships’. Through these topics children will encounter areas for discussion such as what it means to show respect and how to apply strategies to difficult situations. Assemblies at Kingslea place high emphasis on PSHE such as respect whilst also teaching children about worldwide issues and these leave people feeling and thinking.
Key themes are taught through PSHE and teachers are quick to react to situations within the classroom. They bring in sessions to address playground issues and are aware of the emotional needs of their class. Specific PSHE is used for individual children to develop their understanding.

We feel that it is important for pupils to have the opportunity to voice opinions and have their ideas heard. For this reason we have a Pupil Governing Body. Pupils within each class have the opportunity to apply to become a Pupil Governor to represent their class. Our Pupil Governors change twice within an academic year. The Pupil Governors meet weekly to discuss both school and community issues raised by their peers. It is the job of the Pupil Governors to make things happen and discuss how ideas can be made into reality. The Pupil Governors are enthusiastic, motivated and determined when it comes to generating ideas to solve problems. They also have the opportunity to meet with other schools in Horsham and participate in debates.

Here at Kingslea we like to think of the environment. In the Autumn term Eco Club worked hard to educate themselves and others on looking after the environment. They helped to sort recycling, litter pick around the Kingslea School site and teach others how to look after our environment.

Impact
|
Through our teaching of personal, social and health education (PSHE) we aim to give children the knowledge, skills and understanding they need to lead a healthy and independent life.

We base our learning around our core values ‘creativity’, ‘collaboration’ and ‘independence’ and our rights and responsibilities which are a strong focus both in the classroom and around the school. By having a whole school approach to PSHE, we aim for our pupils to develop attributes and qualities they need to thrive as individuals and members of a community.
