At St Dominic Savio we believe that PSHE education equips children to live healthy, safe, responsible, productive, capable, and balanced lives. PSHE education contributes to personal development by helping children to build their resilience, confidence, and self-esteem and make informed choices and understand what influences their decisions. At our school, PSHE is taught from a detailed Life to the Full scheme and teachers are encouraged to add to this as necessary.
Life to the Full is a scheme that has been created to engage, inform and inspire our children and prepare them for the future. Through our assemblies and worship, to visits from outside experts such as health professionals, fire brigade, road safety experts, PSHE is embedded into the daily life of the school. These activities, combined with teacher-led discussion, circle time and informal talks about issues as they arise, mean that learning in this vitally important curriculum area is always relevant to what is happening in class, school or the wider world.
