Life skills (PSHE) is recognised as a key subject for our children. At Silfield Oak Primary Academy, it is felt that PSHE needs to be taught and addressed in an ongoing manner. In PSHE, frequent, albeit shorter lessons, are felt to be the best way to work with the children in addressing friendships, conflict resolution, self-regulation and wellbeing.

It is the intent of the curriculum to:

• Develop an understanding of their own and others emotions allowing for them to create and resolve conflicts within friendships and within families.
• Build confidence in their own strengths and appreciate differences in themselves and others.
• Understand their own changes and how best to maintain their personal wellbeing.
• Understand their civic responsibilities in their school, local community, country and wider world.

We use the Jigsaw curriculum to support the delivery of PSHE. More information can be found at https://jigsawpshe.online/.
