Subject Coordinator - Mrs K Levitt

I am passionate about being PSHE Lead and am excited to explore the personal, social, health and economical curriculum with children.  I aim to give the children knowledge and understanding and life skills to lead on into independent life. 

One of the biggest issues today is mental health and emotional wellbeing.  I believe children should know the importance of physical and mental change.  I would like to build their awareness by developing the skills, knowledge and resilience to be natural problem solvers so that children have a bank of techniques to help them forward into their adult lives.

Having a healthy school-home life balance, I have built a routine that improves my mental and emotional health.  The techniques I use are what I enjoy doing, which is reading, swimming and walking our dog.  We use the Jigsaw programme which children are loving taking part in in their PSHE lessons and have a broad and balanced curriculum which has our school values and personal development curriculum at the heart. 

Subject Intent Statements:

PHSE

Through PSHE, pupils will learn how to express their feelings in order to develop good mental health and understand how to follow a healthy lifestyle to lead to good physical health.    

We aim for our pupils to develop a sense of purpose, learn to work in a team and understand the importance of being part of the community.

PHSE for our children

‘I know how to keep myself happy, healthy and safe.’
