PSHE
At Dunstall Hill Primary School (DHPS), personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education is an embedded part of our broad and balanced curriculum. Pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) development is at the heart of our school ethos. Our policy reflects DHPS overarching curriculum intent in supporting our children to become healthy and responsible members of society, as well as preparing them for life and work in modern Britain.
Relationships Education
Relationships Education is complemented through an online resource called ‘SCARF’ (Coram Life Education). Coram Life Education takes a three strand approach addressing children’s knowledge, skills and attitudes, and programmes are aligned with the National Curriculum (Citizenship, PSHE Education), covering all Key Stages. Coram Life Education helps schools meet their statutory requirements for Relationships and Health Education, children’s Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural development, and Ofsted inspection criteria for personal development, behaviour and welfare.
Meeting all DfE requirements for statutory Relationships and Health Education, and mapped to the PSHE Association programmes of study, SCARF is a framework consisting of lesson plans, online planning, assessment and Ofsted tools to give teachers skills and confidence to embed a comprehensive RSHE, PSHE and Wellbeing programme throughout the primary years. SCARF is a whole-school approach to promoting behaviour, safety, achievement and wellbeing.

Early years links to PSHE
In EYFS, our children are encouraged to identify and talk about their thoughts and feelings. They develop an understanding of what they can do when they are angry or upset and how we can make our classroom and school a happy place. Through our continuous provision, children learn teamwork, sharing and how to take turns whilst including everyone in our diverse school community. Our children will also learn how to keep themselves healthy by thinking about their diet and learning what they can do when things get hard.
