PSHE

We currently use the curriculum framework from Coram life, called SCARF, this is supported by a yearly visit from the Life Bus.  SCARF provides the framework for a whole-school approach to improving children’s wellbeing and progress, based on five values:  

Safety
Caring
Achievement
Resilience
Friendship 

SCARF provides a whole-school teaching framework centred on the ‘Growth Mindset’ approach – promoting positive behaviour, mental health, wellbeing, resilience and achievement.  The SCARF values are brought to life through stories of Harold the giraffe and his friends, songs, films, and thought-provoking and fun activities.  As children get older, while they still cherish Harold, themes about wellbeing and relationships are explored in greater depth and resources are tailored to their age group. 

SCARF provides a strong foundation for children’s spiritual, moral, social and cultural education (SMSC) and development; it is at the heart of the SCARF curriculum.  SCARF provides a robust framework for promoting a positive ethos and values cross the school community, contributing significantly to British Values education, both explicitly and implicitly.

The focus across the three themes of:

* Health and Wellbeing
* Relationships
* Living in the Wider World

These themes help foster and develop children’s responsibility for their own actions; respect for the actions and beliefs of others; an understanding of how each individual is protected by the rule of law; and how everyone can make a positive contribution to society through the democratic process.

Throughout the course of the year the PHSE curriculum is enhanced through participation in:

* Road Safety Training
* Bikability
* Tots on Tyres
* Scooter Safety


Every year the whole school participates in a Healthy Bodies - Healthy Minds week in the Summer Term.  Every day starts off with the whole school, including staff, joining in with a wake-and-shake session on the playground.  Lessons for the week focus on healthy eating, keeping active, growth mindset and learning about our brain and how to keep it healthy and happy.
