PHSCE at Park Junior School

The PHSCE curriculum ensures children develop factual knowledge and skills. Children will study a range of different communities and aspects of life. The curriculum has been designed and sequenced to equip our children with knowledge about our ever-changing, diverse world and local communities. 

The children will learn about citizenship, community, goals, health, relationships and change. 

Units of work follow topic themes, which are repeated every year. A scheme of work called 'Jigsaw' is used. 

Links are made within year groups and across year groups. There are also links with other subject areas, such as art and English.

Links to Key Stage 1: In Lower Key Stage 2, the children revisit and build upon the Jigsaw units of work that have been previously taught within Key Stage 1.

During Lower Key Stage 2 the following units of work are covered: Being Me in My World, Celebrating Difference, Dreams and Goals, Healthy Me, Relationships and Changing Me.

During Upper Key Stage 2, the units of work from Lower Key Stage 2 are repeated, enabling the children to revisit and build upon the knowledge and skills that has been previously taught.

The Park PHSCE curriculum links to our school ethos and the ever-changing family units and groups of people that are part of our school and society.

The Park PHSCE curriculum will help children to begin secondary school with the ability to celebrate diversity, respect and value others in all communities and within their school environment and to be polite and helpful members of the community, enabling them to develop into successful citizens.
