PSHE

"I am a citizen of the world"
Sylvia Beach (writer)

PSHE takes an important part of the curriculum at Priors Hall – a learning community. Pupils will take part in planned lessons across the year, which are grouped into four key topics, that we return to progressively in each year group, making pupils’ prior and future learning clear.

Curriculum Overview

In each year group, the following core themes are taught during PSHE sessions:

myHappymind

This is the main program designed to build positive mental health, resilience, and well-being in children. It includes understanding how the brain works, developing a growth mindset, and learning about emotional regulation.

 

myHappybody

This pillar focuses on Health & Wellbeing (core theme 1 from the PSHE association) objectives, encouraging children to understand the importance of physical health and its connection to mental well-being.

 

myHappyrelationships

This pillar explores Relationships (core theme 2 from the PSHE association), teaching children about the importance of positive relationships and how to build them.

 

myHappyworld

This pillar focuses on Living in the Wider World (core theme 3 from the PSHE association), helping children understand their place in the world and develop respect for diversity and differences.
