PSHE
At Eppleton Academy Primary School we provide an environment that enables pupils to feel happy, safe and valued. Our core values of respect, resilience, integrity and enjoyment are embedded into our vision, ethos and curriculum.
Through active learning opportunities, pupils will learn to recognise and manage risk, take increasing responsibility for themselves, their choices and behaviours and make positive contributions to their families, schools and communities. Pupils will learn to recognise, develop and communicate their qualities, skills and attitudes. They build knowledge, confidence and self-esteem which supports them to develop and be proud of their talents and abilities. Pupils learn to identify and articulate feelings and emotions, learn to manage new or difficult situations positively and form and maintain effective relationships with a wide range of people.
A key driver for us at Eppleton Academy Primary is ‘Raising Aspirations’. We want pupils to feel motivated and committed to their own education and learning. We encourage pupils to always aim high and set themselves goals. We provide them with the skills they need to reach their full potential. Teaching pupils about the wider world and the careers available to them is an important aspect of our PSHE/ SMSC curriculum.
"At Eppleton we regard PSHE as an important, integral component of the whole school curriculum".
We provide a broad and balanced curriculum, ensuring that it:
• Promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of our children and of society.
• Prepares our children for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences they already face and for adult life.
• Provides information about keeping healthy and safe, emotionally and physically.
• Encourages our children to understand how all actions have consequences and how they can make informed choices to help themselves, others and the environment.
