PSHE+C
PSHE+C
The staff of Brighton Avenue Primary School believe that Personal, Social and Health Education and Citizenship (PSHE+C) is a vital part of the curriculum. It promotes a healthy lifestyle, which in turn helps to improve the quality of life and the environment for all our children and their families.
PSHE Aims
PSHE promotes children's personal and social development, including health and well-being, through self-awareness, positive self esteem and confidence to:-
- Stay as healthy as possible
- Keep themselves and others safe
- Have worthwhile and fulfilling relationships
- Respect the differences and diversities between people
- Develop independence and responsibility
- Play an active role as members of a democratic society
- To make the most of their own and others abilities
Citizenship Aims
Through citizenship, we aim for children to develop:-
- Social and moral responsibility
- Community cohesion
- Global citizenship
PSHE+C Policy 2020-21
RSE (Relationships and Sex Education)
Through constantly striving to monitor and evaluate the quality of education we provide in our school, we have been teaching Relationships Education, which offers age appropriate units on Sex Education, and Health Education which are both taught in combination with the PSHE+C and Science curriculum since 2019. You are informed of what is taught in PSHE+C and Science (which include RSE) on your child's Class Curriculum Map and Class Newsletter every half term.
The RSE and PSHE+C policies can also both be found on our school website. The change in the law meant that all primary schools were required to teach Relationships Education and Health Education from September 2020 in this academic year.
We would like to seek your views on this part of the curriculum and would love to hear your thoughts, which will help us understand your views/comments and take these into consideration as we update our policy, ready for 2021/2022 academic year.
The DfE Relationships Education and Health Education document is attached here with our survey.
Thank you.
Many thanks to those of you who have returned the RSE parent survey. This consultation has led to further discussions with parents and we really appreciate your comments.
At the start of the autumn term, the PSHE+C Subject Leaders will inform you of when there will be an ‘RSE Parent Session’ to support you to talk about this aspect of learning (age appropriate) with your child.
Any up-to-date PSHE+C information, will continue to be on the ‘Key Information, Curriculum, PSHE+C’ page of the school website.
Thank you again for your time.

This year for comic relief, we have asked parents to donate directly to the charity or purchase noses and other items directly from Sainsbury's and TK Max. We still took part as a school in a range of activities and wore odd sock. Take a look at what some of the children got up to!
Children's Mental Health Week (WB 01.02.21)
For CMHW we have been finding positive ways to deal with things that might be difficult, overcoming physical and mental challenges and looking after yourself. As a school, we have been focusing on our own mental health to help us support Children's Mental Health Week. We have taken part in lots of activities where our focus was on ourselves both physically and mentally. We have been carrying out activities within school and via Teams to ensure all children were able to take part. Take a look at what we have been doing!
Nursery!
We did exercise to improve our mental health! Among others, we did a plank and step ups. Well done to everyone!

LKS2
We watched a PowerPoint on all of the different ways in which we can express ourselves. We then discussed what makes us happy and we express ourselves in different ways, such as dancing, singing, drawing, colouring, making things etc.
Y5S & Y5M
Throughout the week, the children in our group suggested activities they would like to do for our wellbeing day, two of them being making a rocky road cake and also enjoying some hot chocolate whilst watching a film of choice!
We all had a fab day 🙂
Year 6
We looked at how we could express ourselves and our feelings in positive ways. We recognised the things in life that are important to us and make us happy: spending time with family, friends or even some time on our own doing things we enjoy like listening to music. We also spent a bit of time focusing on what makes us uniquely amazing and why these qualities are important, we ended the session with some mindfulness colouring.
Friendship Friday 11.12.20
For Friendship Friday as a school we looked at what makes a good friend. As a school we all took part in a range of activities catered for each Key Stage. As a school, we have shown that friends can come from different families types, different abilities, disabilities and different religions. Take a look!
Children In Need 2020!
For Children in need this year, we all wore odd socks! As a treat, every child received a Pudsey biscuit and juice for their very kind donations. They also took part in an array of activities!
Remembrance Day 11.11.2020
On the 11th November all the children in the school took part in the Nova Project to paint a pebble and place it within the school grounds to show our respect to all the men, women, children and animals who lost their lives during the war. We all took part in a 2 minute silence to remember them.
