Our Intent for PSHE

To develop and support the emotional health, well-being and welfare of all pupils in our school. PSHE enables pupils to become effective learners and supports them as they move from childhood through adolescence to become independent young people and responsible citizens. We strive to develop resilient learners, who can work collaboratively as they progress through different stages of primary education. Our staff model and support empathetic relationships rested on Christian and school values.

Enrichment Opportunities

Links are made between subjects to offer a creative way to develop children's knowledge, skills and understanding through a study of interconnected topics. We promote healthy living and celebrate diversity by participating in International and Multicultural Dance workshops. Anti-bullying and Internet Safety workshops deliver important messages in a fun, engaging and interactive way. At Celtic Harmony, we want children to learn about more than just Prehistory, we want them to learn many different skills that include: teamwork, co-operation, communication, problem-solving. Our residential trips (Celtic Harmony and PGL) boost children’s self-esteem, confidence and well-being; they learn to be independent and responsible citizen. Countryside trips develop resilience ability to work together, improve children’s wellbeing and cultivate sense of belonging.  Some other activities also include:

• STEAM construction workshops;
• House Activities (e.g. Earth day);
• Mindfulness sessions with a Mindfulness coach;
• Dental care and good oral hygiene talks and workshops lead by Harpenden Dental Centre
• Media workshops lead by students of Sir John Lawes
• Crucial Crew - multi-agency event organised by the police and supported by the fire service.

  The event aims to raise awareness of safety issues to school children in Year 6
