The Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) Education curriculum is designed to help the students at King James’s School develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes they need to live healthy, safe and fulfilling lives.
At King James’s School, PSHE is taught using the Jigsaw PSHE curriculum. The curriculum is designed to be inclusive, age-appropriate and progressive, helping students develop the knowledge, skills and values they need to lead healthy, safe and fulfilling lives. The programme covers key areas such as emotional wellbeing, relationships, health, citizenship, and economic understanding. The curriculum also supports students in building resilience, confidence and positive relationships.
The PSHE curriculum is delivered in timetabled lessons. In lessons emphasis is placed upon discussion and group activities, however it is recognised that teacher-led lessons have a place in such a programme. Students are encouraged to develop their viewpoints and learn to share these in a constructive manner.
The curriculum is sequential broken down into six themed units. These themes are also delivered through the assembly programme and tutor time programme to enrich and support the PSHE curriculum.
