Curriculum Intent

The Meads Primary School is committed to meeting the requirements of the Primary National Curriculum, underpinned by our core values of Resilience, Respect, Responsibility, Kindness and Joy. We also develop the understanding of the values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect for and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs and those without faith. PSHE (Personal, Social, Health and Economic) education is a crucial part of a child’s education. It gives children access to critical information about themselves and the many facets of the diverse world around them.

At, The Meads we aim to promote children’s knowledge, self-esteem, emotional wellbeing and resilience: to help them to form and maintain worthwhile and positive relationships. Children will be taught to have respect for themselves, and for others, within our local, national and global communities.

We aim to develop key character skills, including decision making, informed risk taking, good communication, and self-regulation strategies. We encourage the exploration of, and respect for, values held by different cultures and groups within our local community and promote the development of positive attitudes.

We encourage honesty and respect in all relationships, and nurture sensitivity to the needs and feelings of others. We aim to enable children to develop a deepening knowledge of their health and wellbeing, including their mental and physical health. We aim to equip children and young people with information, skills and values to understand and to be able to cope with the physical and emotional changes that happen during puberty. The information provided will be relevant and appropriate to the age and maturity of pupils.

At the Meads our PHSE curriculum covers Online safety lessons. We understand that the online world has many positive aspects which can enhance learning and social skills however, we also need to prepare children to recognise unsafe situations and to know who to talk to and how to deal with these situations should they arise. These include: Self-image and identity; online relationships; online reputation; online bullying; managing online information; health, wellbeing and lifestyle; privacy and security; copyright and ownership. Children are learning to navigate the world. They tend to be enthusiastic and trusting. Online safety lessons are crucial to keeping children safe.
