PSHE at Berrybrook

At Berrybrook, 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. Berrybrook’s policy reflects our 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. We aim for our pupils to be accepting of everyone – no matter their race, gender, orientation or background; for our pupils to have an awareness of their own emotions and mental health and the strategies they can use to support this; for our pupils to understand how to stay safe in every way and to know what is acceptable behaviour; and for them to know how and who to ask for help when they need it.

Our PSHE curriculum is taught in conjunction with SCARF, which is a comprehensive, progressive PSHE scheme of work for 3-11 year olds. This approach is taught through 7 key themes:

  • Managing My Feelings and Relationships
  • Keeping Safe
  • Everyone Has a Place
  • Online Behaviour and Practical Safety
  • Looking After Myself and My Health
  • Money and Aspiration
  • Growing and Changing (Taught with age-appropriate plans to cover the physical and emotional changes that happen as children as they grow older, including changes at puberty and how to approach this with confidence. Age-appropriate lessons on relationships and sex education are also included).

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.
