PHSE
Our Subject Leader for PHSE is Mrs Becky Gibbs
‘As a Christian school, St Martin and St Mary is an inclusive and happy community; nurturing confidence, a thirst for learning and resilience in a safe loving environment. Our priority is developing the whole child spiritually, emotionally, physically and academically to live the most rewarding life.'
Our PSHE education programme promotes our school ethos and is underpinned by the school values of ‘Friendship, Love, Forgiveness, Trust, Honesty and Faith’. We believe that PSHE should enable children to become healthier, more independent and more responsible members of society. We encourage our children to play a positive role in contributing to the life of the school and the wider community. In so doing, we help develop their sense of self-worth. We teach them how society is organised and governed. We ensure that the children experience the process of democracy through the election of class representatives, who make up the ‘School Council’. They are encouraged to voice their views, ideas and opinions through this process, thus making a positive contribution to the school community. We teach children both about their rights and about their responsibilities. They learn to appreciate what it means to be a positive member of a diverse and multicultural society.
The Journal - (our very own) PSHE Magazine
A team of children from Upper Key Stage 2 drafted and published a PSHE guide for our school - please have a look inside to learn about this important part of life for everyone in our school.
