PSHE
The subject leader for PSHE AND RSE is Mrs Read.
At Holy Trinity C of E School, we follow the SCARF Scheme of Work from Coram Life Education.
Meeting all DfE requirements for statutory Relationships and Health Education, SCARF is mapped to the PSHE Association's Programme of Study. SCARF is a whole-school approach to promoting behaviour, safety, achievement and well-being.
PUPIL VOICE:
'In PSHE, we learn how to be better people and how to look after ourselves.'
'I think it is fun, because we learn that it is ok to feel different emotions, like when you fall out with your friend. I think it has helped me to be a better friend.'
'I enjoy learning about people from different cultures and backgrounds, but we know that we are all still the same, which is important.'
British Values and Protected Characteristics
Promoting the Protected Characteristics at Holy Trinity Primary
At Holy Trinity Primary School, we work hard to ensure that our children understand that we are one community. There are no outsiders, everybody is different, and we celebrate our differences.
The Equality Act became law in 2010. It covers everyone in Britain, and it protects people from discrimination, harassment and victimisation. Everyone in Britain is protected. The Equality Act protects people against discrimination because of the protected characteristics we all have.
Under the Equality Act, there are nine Protected Characteristics.
- Age
- Disability
- Gender reassignment
- Race – including colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin
- Religion or belief
- Marriage or civil partnership
- Sex
- Sexual orientation
- Pregnancy and maternity
At Holy Trinity, we actively promote equality and the children’s understanding of the protected characteristics through our curriculum, assemblies and the wider life of the school.
The document below shows how our curriculum is planned and delivered to consider the nine Protected Characteristics. We do not teach about all the Protected Characteristics in every year group. The curriculum is planned and delivered so that our children develop age-appropriate knowledge and understanding.
