PERSONAL, SOCIAL AND HEALTH EDUCATION

At St Thomas’ the wellbeing of our pupils is paramount to everything we do. Our PSHE curriculum, including the statutory teaching of health and relationships education, underpins all aspects of school life, where our children are provided with opportunities to acquire the skills and attributes to become healthy individuals mentally, physically and emotionally. We nurture our children’s hopes and aspirations and support them to develop the knowledge needed to make informed decisions both now and in their future lives. In order to achieve this, we enhance our curriculum with opportunities that enable them to choose the right path and reflect upon the decisions they make.

We recognise the role we play in shaping our children’s futures and strive to ensure our children grow up to flourish in this wonderfully diverse world that we live in. This is why our curriculum is tailored to their specific needs, ensuring they are well prepared to deal with the many challenges life can bring. Our approaches are fundamentally centred around compassion, acceptance, respect, self-awareness and self-care, understanding, love and ambition.
