PSHE and Wellbeing
PSHE (personal, social and health education) is one of the most important parts of our curriculum, here at Shipton Bellinger. Discrete PSHE sessions are covered weekly and children are taught how to understand themselves, their developing emotions and how to be part of a safe and caring community. Alongside these weekly sessions, PSHE is threaded through the curriculum, from collaborative work, debate and discussion and team building activities. All learners are also able to access ELSA (emotional literacy support) and Thrive practices.
We believe passionately that, without being able to understand ourselves and our emotions, children are unable to be effective learners. Wellbeing activities, where children are taught calming techniques, mindfulness and meditation, ensure that learners at Shipton Bellinger are supported, nurtured and enabled to be confident, happy members of our school community.
We use Coram Life SCARF to support the teaching of PSHE at Shipton Bellinger. They also visit the school each year to offer all children interactive workshops.
