Personal, Social, Health, & Economic Education
Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education at Alwoodley Primary School 
Intent, Implementation and Impact
Our vision is that children will be able to take risks in their learning but know how to stay safe at home and in the community.
PSHE is challenging, motivating, practical and interactive. In our diverse society, children need to develop an understanding of themselves, others and their community and how we can work together in harmony. They also need to know how to maintain healthy lifestyles and relationships with others. PSHE plays an integral role in children exploring these things and helps to prepare them for the community that they live in now and in the future.
INTENT
At Alwoodley Primary School, our wider intent is to make learning meaningful and memorable. For PSHE, there is a whole school approach throughout the curriculum and the life of the school and its community. Our school is committed to promoting the health and well-being of pupils, and of the whole school community, and fully recognise the important relationship between well-being and learning. We provide the children with a curriculum that is broadly based, balanced and meets the needs of all pupils. Through PSHE, and the wider curriculum, our aim is to promote the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils at the school and of society, and work to prepare pupils at the school for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life. PSHE education is extremely important to us and is at the heart of our school ethos and is embedded throughout all areas of the wider curriculum.
Implementation
At Alwoodley Primary School, our PSHE curriculum follows the You, Me and PSHE scheme and Mindmate lessons. For our Relationships and Sex Education we follow the Statutory guidance through the Ealing Primary scheme of work. As PSHE is at the heart of our school ethos, it is embedded throughout all the areas of the wider curriculum and we provide the children with an enriching array of opportunities.
Impact
We use a range of strategies to assess what skills and knowledge the children have attained each term including the following:
Book looks
Pupil Voice
Pre and post assessment
Regular feedback each lesson
A well maintained benchmarking folder
