Areas of Work

4 children in a row

All of our work promotes the wellbeing of children and young people in schools. The inclusion of PSHE and Citizenship in the school curriculum supports this. Many areas of PSHE have become statutory in September 2020, through Relationships Education (Primary), Relationships and Sex Education (Secondary) and Health Education.  Our materials are structured into 4 strands which offer support from EYFS to KS4.

Myself and My Relationships

Developing an awareness of self, emotions and mental health are essential elements in our programmes. Developing skills of self-understanding are crucial to everyone’s ability to form, nurture and maintain positive and life-enhancing relationships.  Mental health is currently a core priority for all those working with children and young people both locally and nationally.

Areas of this strand include:

Healthy and Safer Lifestyles

It is every school’s duty to ensure that they prepare pupils for adult life in modern Britain. Part of the challenge of this is enabling pupils to make positive, informed  decisions about an ever changing collection of ‘risks’. Pupils must be offered opportunities to explore their own attitudes and develop skills, rather than focusing solely on gaining knowledge.

Areas of this strand include:

  • Managing Safety and Risk including road safety, sun safety and water safety
  • Relationships and Sex Education
  • Drug Education
  • Healthy Lifestyles
  • Personal Safety
  • Online Safety

Citizenship

With the recent requirement for schools to promote British values and prevent radicalisation, Citizenship has become a focal point. As well as curriculum delivery, schools may choose to enact the values of democracy, tolerance and respect through the organisation and management of their school. Areas of this strand include:

  • Identity, Diversity and Community
  • Right, Rules and Responsibilities - Society and Democracy

Economic Wellbeing

Teaching pupils about personal finance and to respect and manage money helps them to become financially capable and better able to meet the increasingly complex financial challenges that await them in the wider world. The ability to make financial decisions is a major aspect of identifying and making the best use of opportunities.

Areas of this strand include:

  • Financial Capability
  • Careers and Employability
