PSHE Intent Statement
At Parc Eglos, we recognise the importance of a coherent and comprehensive Life Skills (PSHE) curriculum to prepare our children for the wider world of life and work. We know that, through developing emotional literacy and resilience, promoting positive behaviour, and teaching the understanding of mental health and wellbeing, our children will flourish in the wider curriculum and in life. Children understand and recognise their own personal value and how as unique individuals, they fit into and contribute to society within a local, national, and global context. The nature of our Life Skills (PSHE) education promotes spiritual, moral, social and cultural development and through this our children are given a wide perspective to the world they live in today. Weaving through the heart of our teaching is a commitment to enhance and promote our school vision, virtues and values, leading to our children becoming independent, confident, healthy and responsible citizens with a desire to change, and lead our world, towards a better future.
- The PSHE education that we offer underpins the school intent statement and our ARCC values: SMSC and PSHE are integral to our school ethos and our aim of promoting aspirational, creative, curious, caring, collaborative and well-rounded members of society.
- We are inclusive of all staff and children, we recognise uniqueness by the emphasis on celebrating differences but we are united as a group. This is evidenced through the close relationships between children, staff and parents.
- Children know where they fit in and develop a Sense of place in Helston, in Cornwall, nationally and globally for themselves, their family, their school, their local community, Cornwall and The World.
