Learning for Life (PSHE & RSE)

Intent 

At Great Kimble School, Learning for Life (PSHE & RSE), alongside our Christian values of Respect, Ambition, Love, Resilience and Collaboration, forms the backbone of our whole curriculum. Our Learning for Life curriculum is designed to nurture big hearts and bold futures by supporting pupils to grow into confident, compassionate and responsible individuals.

Through a carefully planned and inclusive programme of study, pupils develop their understanding of health and wellbeing, relationships, and their role in the wider world. Children are encouraged to develop a strong sense of responsibility and self-worth by playing a positive role within school life and the wider community. Our curriculum is accessible to all and aims to maximise outcomes for every child, ensuring that all pupils feel valued, supported and empowered.

We place a strong emphasis on mental wellbeing, emotional literacy and empathy, supporting children to understand, articulate and manage their feelings in order to maintain positive mental health. Pupils also develop an understanding of physical health and the importance of making healthy choices. A growth mindset approach underpins our curriculum, helping children to become resilient, reflective and flexible learners with a positive attitude towards the future.

By learning about rights, responsibilities and diversity, pupils develop big hearts through respect, understanding and inclusion. Our Learning for Life curriculum equips children with the confidence and skills to navigate moral, social, spiritual and cultural challenges as they grow, preparing them for bold futures as healthy, independent and active members of society.
