PSHE
Statement of Intent
We, at Lodge Farm Primary, encourage our pupils to play a positive role in contributing to the life of the school and the wider community. In doing so, we help develop their sense of self-worth. We teach them how society is organised and governed. We ensure that they experience the process of democracy in school through the school council. We teach them about rights and responsibilities. They learn to appreciate what it means to be a positive member of a diverse multicultural society.
Pastoral care is the practice of attending to the personal, social, and wellbeing needs of children and can encompass a wide range of issues including health, social and moral education, how to address bullying, careers advice, sex and relationships education and celebrating British Values.

PSHE gives pupils opportunities to reflect on their experiences and understand how they are developing personally and socially, encompassing many of the spiritual, moral, social and cultural issues in their lives and that of others in society, thus allowing them to build meaningful relationships. It also promotes pupils’ wellbeing and self-esteem enabling them to take responsibility for their learning and future life choices.
PSHE is the joint responsibility of the individual, the family, the school and the wider community. Through our PSHE programme, individual pupils are encouraged to show respect for our common humanity, diversity and the differences between people
