PSHE

Intent

Our knowledge-rich curriculum will inspire students to become well-rounded individuals who can develop into active citizens by playing a positive and successful role in society. Our intention is to provide our students with the tools they need to navigate the moral, social, and cultural issues that are part of growing up in their community, modern Britain, and the global community.

They will develop an understanding of how our personal and social development forms our sense of identity and place in the world, and through studying a range of moral and social issues will become more empathetic and open-minded young people. Our teaching will ensure students are able to consider a range of perspectives on relationships, both personal and sexual and develop the ability to make balanced arguments and well sustained judgements and decisions.

The curriculum is enriched with opportunities for our students to develop and demonstrate the Grove 5, and at the same time promotes our Ready, Respectful and Safe attitude. Moreover, our pupils are encouraged to develop their sense of self-worth by playing a positive role in contributing to school life and the wider community. We challenge all our pupils to look for opportunities to demonstrate Grove’s values and to seek leadership opportunities within the school and their local community.

Grove Academy provides a comprehensive PSHE programme throughout a child’s time with us. The programme sequences knowledge over time, spiralling, re-visiting, and building upon knowledge from the three main themes. These themes are:

Health and Wellbeing

Living in the Wider World

Relationships (including Sex Education)

The programme has been uniquely designed to be relevant to our context, ensuring that it is relevant to our students, their lives inside and outside the school gate, and relevant to the local area. Grove Academy is a diverse community, and so our programme reflects different values and beliefs and challenges students to consider a range of perspectives.

The programme covers all statutory elements that we are legally required to deliver.
