PSHE

At Keyworth Primary School, we are dedicated to providing a dynamic and inclusive PSHE curriculum that fosters confident, ambitious and future-focused individuals within our community. Through thoughtfully designed and creatively delivered lessons, children develop the knowledge, skills and values crucial for their personal growth and well-being.

Our curriculum promotes progression across the three core themes of PSHE:

Core Theme 1: Health and Wellbeing
This theme supports children in understanding how to lead physically, emotionally, and mentally healthy lives. It covers key areas such as healthy lifestyles, managing change (like puberty), emotional resilience, and staying safe. Children also learn how to make informed decisions and where to seek help when needed.

Core Theme 2: Relationships
Focusing on building positive, respectful relationships, this theme helps children develop emotional literacy, recognise healthy and unhealthy interactions, and understand diversity in families and friendships. It includes learning about empathy, consent, online safety, and how to seek support if relationships become challenging or unsafe.

Core Theme 3: Living in the Wider World
This theme prepares children to be active, responsible citizens in a diverse society. It explores topics such as rights and responsibilities, economic wellbeing, respecting the environment, and valuing diversity. Pupils also learn about money management, community participation, and what it means to be part of a global world.

Anti-Bullying Week and Odd Socks Day

All classes completed activities during their lessons around what bullying is and what they can do if someone is being unkind to them or  someone else. The children in year 6 designed posters with an aim of educating others about the need to stop bullying and what actions to take should they witness any form of bullying.

Odd Socks Day marks the start of Anti-Bullying Week. It’s an opportunity to encourage people to express themselves, and celebrate their individuality and what makes us all unique! 

Lifting Limits

Lifting Limits delivers lessons focusing on gender equality within our PSHE curriculum. Within the half termly Lifting Limits lessons, it involves challenging gender stereotypes through practical learning. Although Lifting Limits is taught through our PSHE lessons, it is also embedded across the whole school curriculum as well.

Children's Mental Health Week

The theme for 2025 was Know Yourself, Grow Yourself, with the aim to equip and empower
children and young people across the UK to embrace self-awareness and explore what it means to them. We want children and young people to discover how getting to know who they are can help them build resilience, grow and develop. 

For Children’s Mental Health Week, children in Year 6 discussed the importance of being self aware and how to manage their emotions. They created informative posters, linked to this year's theme 'Know Yourself, Grow Yourself!'

Mental Health Awareness Week

For this year's Mental Health Awareness Week, we celebrated the power and importance of community. Being part of a safe, positive community is vital for our mental health and well-being. As a school community, we wore green to promote positive mental health - green signifies new life, new growth, and new beginnings.

BBC Children In Need

One of our school values is Connected to the Community: we have a strong sense of being a
part of and having responsibility for our community. This year, we dressed up in
spots/stripes/colourful clothes to raise money for the BBC Children in Need Appeal.
Thank you to everyone who donated and to these children who collected money at the school
gate through dance, encouragement and enthusiasm!
