PSHE/RSE

At Westbury Infants, we aim for every child to have high self-esteem and be equipped to make a valuable contribution in later life.

Our PSHE curriculum brings together Personal, Social and Health Education, emotional literacy and social skills in a comprehensive scheme of learning. 

PSHE is taught and embedded through whole school assemblies, cross-curricular application and a weekly session in class. This is discussion based and allows the children to reflect on topics with peers.

SMSC (Spiritual, Moral Social and Cultural) development opportunities are included across the PSHE curriculum where appropriate. 

Class teachers also cover the Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) content for their year group throughout the PSHE sessions, with the aim of ensuring that children understand the boundaries of healthy relationships. 

At this difficult and worrying time it is really important to take some time to care for our mental health and wellbeing. Both of these sites offer lots of opportunities to let off steam, take time out and have fun!
