At Merstone school, our intent for PSHE is to support pupils to develop and promote the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils. We intend to prepare each individual for life outside of Merstone School and to support them in becoming an aware and active member of their community. PSHE will allow pupils to immerse themselves in specific topics areas within PSHE that will provide them with opportunities, responsibilities and experiences for later life. We want our pupils to have high aspirations and in an ever-changing world and be able to manage their emotions. The curriculum will ensure they can play an active, positive and successful role in a global community. Our ‘Relationships and Sex Education’ paired with our ‘Protective Behaviours’ ethos, enables our children to learn how to stay safe, and to understand and develop healthy relationships, both now and in their future lives
