‘Woodfield academy is a place where our day to day mission is to ignite a passion to learn and a desire to succeed in an environment that nurtures all.’
It is a place where learners are taught through our curriculum, to make informed choices and to be responsible for their own actions, through the teaching of four core values; Compassion, Respect, Resilience and Responsibility.
PSHRE at WoodfieldAcademy holds children at its heart, and its cohesive vision helps children understand and value how they fit into and contribute to the world. With strong emphasis on emotional literacy, building resilience and nurturing mental and physical health, we deliver engaging and relevant PSHRE within a whole-school approach. Our lessons also include mindfulness allowing children to advance their emotional awareness, concentration, and focus.
Woodfield works together with Jigsaw to offer a comprehensive Programme for PSHRE including statutory Relationships and Health Education, in a spiral, progressive and fully planned scheme of work, giving children relevant learning experiences to help them navigate their world and to develop positive relationships with themselves and others.
Our curriculum consists of six half-term units of work, each containing six lessons covering each academic year.
- Term 1: Being Me in My World
- Term 2: Celebrating Difference (including anti-bullying)
- Term 3: Dreams and Goals
- Term 4: Healthy Me
- Term 5: Relationships
- Term 6: Changing Me (including Sex Education)
Every Piece has two Learning Intentions, one specific to Relationships and Health Education (RSHE) and the other designed to develop emotional literacy and social skills.As well as this we also ensure that we focus on children as individuals, allowing them to broaden their thinking and express their talents, individuality, and opinions in a safe and respectful environment.
How do we deliver PSHRE at Woodfield Academy?
- All pupils have a weekly PSHRE lesson.
- Medium term planning has been developed by the PSHRE lead in guidance with Jigsaw to meet the needs of our pupils.
- Medium term planning incorporates PSHE lessons and RSE lessons
- All year groups access LGBT+ issues and equal opportunities at an age-appropriate level.
- Assemblies are planned to cover any additional sessions that would benefit the whole school, Key Stage or year group.
- Additional themed weeks and activities are planned throughout the year in order to engage our students with the subject and to highlight important issues.
- Our aim is that by the time children leave our school they will have a ready willingness and ability to try new things, push them and persevere. Along with a good understanding of how to stay safe, healthy and develop good relationships.
Furthermore, they will have an appreciation of what it means to be a positive member of a diverse, multicultural society and a strong self-awareness, interlinked with compassion of others.
