My name is Mr McClean, I am Assistant Head teacher & curriculum leader for Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education at MCPA. 

 

We have recently redesigned to more closely reflect the needs of the children who come to our school. We want our children to grow with a deep understanding of themselves, their relationships with others and their place in the community. Whilst also providing the skills needed for thriving in the wider world, keeping healthy and understanding the economic demands of modern life.

​

British Values

Democracy - We teach pupils how they can influence decision-making through the democratic process.

For example: Pupils have the opportunity to have their voices heard and are able to express their

views freely through our pupil voice surveys across subjects and within PSHE lessons of reflection.

 

Respect and Tolerance - Through the PSHE curriculum, pupils are encouraged to discuss and respect differences between

people, such as differences of faith, ethnicity, disability, gender or sexuality and differences of family situations.

​

Individual Liberty - Pupils are encouraged to know, understand and exercise their rights and personal freedoms

and are advised how to exercise these safely, vulnerable pupils are protected and stereotypes challenged. A strong

anti-bullying culture is embedded in the curriculum.

 .

 

Cultural Capital

Our PSHE curriculum enables pupils to build their cultural capital preparing children with the essential Personal, Social,

Health and Emotional knowledge and skills for what comes next. The exploration of new skills and experiences helps
to nurture grit, curiosity and creativity.

​

Personal Development

Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education promotes pupil’s personal, social and emotional development, as well

as their health and wellbeing. Though aspects of Personal Development permeate throughout the curriculum and wider practice of the school, our PSHE curriculum takes perhaps the most explicit focus on equipping pupils with the knowledge and skills to keep

themselves safe and healthy and to become independent and responsible members of society.

 

Learning experiences in PSHE here at MCPA foster the development of positive, respectful relationships, focusing on family and

friendships, in all contexts, including online. We aim to develop self-confidence, self-esteem, and resilience in our pupils, giving

them the qualities and attributes that they need to lead confident, healthy and independent lives. 

 

Our whole school curriculum design promotes a positive philosophy and creative teaching and learning activities to nurture

children’s development as compassionate and well-rounded human beings as well as building their capacity to learn and contribute.to society. Pupils are supported in exploring moral and social issues that arise in their lives and communities; we develop

the knowledge, skills and understanding they need to live confident, healthy, independent lives and members of society.

We want children to learn what it is to be a citizen of the modern world, we want them to
contribute positively to society and become compassionate and successful adults.
