Intent
At Enderby Road Infant School and Nursery, we strive for every child to leave us with the resilience, emotional literacy, social skills and spiritual development to begin to play an active, positive and successful role in the community. We want our children to have aspirations, a belief in themselves and know just how much they can achieve if they put their mind to it.
Our PSHE curriculum has been chosen with the intention that every child will be taught and given the opportunities to explore how their minds grow, their own well-being and develop a sense of self-worth that will allow them to continue to develop personally and socially beyond KS1.
Our Sex and Relationships Education curriculum (SRE) enables our children to learn how to be safe, understand and develop healthy relationships and recognise situations that may make them feel unsafe.
Implementation
From EYFS through to Year 2, children are given a weekly lesson under the spiral, progressive Jigsaw scheme. This scheme 'aims to prepare children for life’ through consistent teaching of the skills for emotional literacy, building resilience and nurturing mental and physical health. Each session offers activities to connect the children, explore mindfulness and open their minds to the world around them. It also links to British Value and our roles in the wider world. Each focus, or piece, are taught half termly with units that link and progress each year to allow for a continuously evolving understanding:
- Being Me in My World
- Celebrating Difference
- Dreams and Goals
- Healthy Me
- Relationships
- Changing Me
The new statutory regulations for the revised Health Education and Relationships Education curriculum are taught through the Jigsaw scheme initially, with a focus on Boys’ and girls’ bodies for Year 1 and body parts and respecting privacy for Year 2. In addition to targeted lessons, we also welcome Big Talk Education into the school to support the delivery of SRE through specialist sessions called Growing up Safe (GUS) to each class in EYFS through KS1.
Each week children have both a class and KS1 assembly focusing on aspects of their PSHE education. We aim to provide not only in class learning but also a whole school approach to PSHE and British Values.
Jigsaw leads the children to able to recognise and react in a healthy way to a range of emotions as well as use strategies to help them cope with ‘big’ emotions. It focuses on empowering children to manage their own emotions and behaviour, improving relationships and increasing concentration and learning.
Through a spiralled and consistent approach, PSHE is embedded into our school to help us aim for confident, independent learners who consider the wellbeing of themselves and those around them and have a good understanding of the world around them.
Impact
Our PSHE curriculum has been designed to allow all children who leave our school to flourish into tolerant, respectful, resilient, socially and morally responsible and active members of their community.
Our teaching of PSHE will lead to children each making progress relative to their own individual starting point. The implementation and impact of the PSHE curriculum is assessed across school to ensure that children are provided with the best possible chance at succeeding. Each piece of the puzzle is adapted and planned with to best suit our children and the experiences they have had. We strive to ensure that by the end of their time with us at Enderby Road Infant School each child will:
- Be aware and knowledgeable about British Values and their role in society.
- Be able to recognise, understand and manage their own emotions whether positive or negative.
- Understand who they can rely on and ask for support in school and in the community.
- Look after their own mental health using strategies and ask for support where necessary.
- Be on their way to maintaining a healthy lifestyle both physically and mentally.
- Recognise differences and have an understanding of diversity and tolerance.
- Apply learnt skills in real life situations both during their time here and beyond.
Demonstrate self-confidence and self-esteem in themselves.

What does our PSHE curriculum look like?
Children's Mental Health Week 2023
We had a super week with the theme "LET'S CONNECT". All our classes got involved and we used buddy work to connect the children across school.
We had afternoon activities in different classrooms, breathing exercises which our children voted for democratically and talked about why it is important that we try to keep our minds healthy.
