Personal, Social, Health and Citizenship Education
At Burnt Oak Junior School, we believe that Personal, Social, Health and Citizenship Education (PSHCE) enables children to become healthy, independent and responsible members of the community.
We feel that active learning is vital to the subject. We do this through child discussions, investigation and problem solving, for real life situations.
Each class has a weekly circle time lesson where individual class needs are addressed. During the sessions the Social, Emotional Aspects of Learning (SEAL) scheme is followed, which looks at different themes throughout the year from New Beginnings to Changes. In addition to this, where possible, we make links to other subjects, using a cross-curricular approach, as PSHCE should run on a theme throughout the whole curriculum.
