At New Scotland Hill Primary School and Nursery, we understand the importance of equipping our children to have the skills, strategies and knowledge to be able to play an active, positive and successful role in today’s diverse society. Using Kapow as our primary curriculum resource, our Personal, Social and Health Education curriculum (PSHE) has been carefully designed and sequenced to ensure our children are taught age appropriate knowledge and skills to meet the needs of an ever-changing society. The curriculum also links closely with key policies including: Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy, the Equality Policy, the E-Safety Policy and our British Values Statement. Through our six topic titles of My Healthy Self – Managing emotions, body and mind, Connecting with others, The Online World, Citizenship, Staying Safe and Being Healthy and Growing Up and RSE, New Scotland Hill Primary School and Nursery will equip children with the knowledge and skills to:

• form and develop appropriate relationships;
• understand details relating to their own health, personal care and sexual development;
• maintain personal wellbeing;
• enhance their self-esteem, self-confidence and assertiveness;
• develop their understanding of the world they live in;
• have the power and knowledge to make informed choices;
• understand the importance of equality and diversity;
• develop positive attitudes towards money;
• have a greater understanding of economics.
