PSHE
Our Vision for PSHE at Brownhills West Primary School:
At Brownhills West, our PSHE curriculum is designed to help every child grow into a confident, compassionate and resilient young person who understands themselves, values others and contributes positively to their community. Rooted in our school values of belonging, ambition and reponsibility, PSHE provides the knowledge, skills and habits that enable pupils to thrive both now and in the future.
We teach PSHE through a carefully sequenced, evidence‑informed curriculum that prioritises emotional safety, positive relationships and personal growth. The myHappymind fundamentals are woven throughout, giving pupils a shared language for wellbeing and equipping them with practical strategies to understand their brains, manage emotions, build healthy habits and recognise their strengths. This proactive approach ensures that wellbeing is not an intervention, but a culture.
Our curriculum empowers pupils to:
- develop secure emotional literacy and self‑regulation
- build positive, respectful and inclusive relationships
- understand how to stay healthy, safe and ready to learn
- make informed choices and take increasing responsibility for themselves
- celebrate diversity and challenge discrimination
- recognise their strengths, set goals and persevere through challenge
To ensure full coverage of the statutory RSHE requirements, several objectives that do not sit neatly within a single year-group unit are intentionally delivered through a sequenced, age‑appropriate model across KS1 and KS2. These objectives are embedded within existing units, buffer weeks, and thematic revisits to ensure progression, accuracy and developmental readiness.
