Personal, Social, Health and Economic education (PSHE)
At Inglehurst Infants, helping every child feel that they belong is at the heart of everything we do. Our PSHE education supports children to understand themselves, build positive relationships and feel proud of who they are. We use high‑quality, inclusive picture books so that all pupils see their families, cultures and identities reflected in school life.
We follow the Jigsaw PSHE scheme, which provides a clear and progressive curriculum across six themes taught throughout the year. This is strengthened by the Zones of Regulation, helping children recognise and manage their emotions so they feel safe, calm and ready to learn.
Our PSHE curriculum meets all statutory duties for Relationships Education, Health Education, the Equality Act and Keeping Children Safe in Education. We also promote our School Values and Fundamental British Values through everyday school life.
Our assembly programme reinforces key safeguarding and wellbeing messages across the year, including Clever Never Goes, NSPCC Speak Out Stay Safe, Anti‑Bullying Week, Online Safety Week, Road Safety Week, Mental Health Awareness events, seasonal weather safety and aspirational career‑themed assemblies. These experiences help children understand how to stay safe, look after their wellbeing and think positively about their futures.
Together, our PSHE lessons, assemblies and whole‑school ethos create a community where every child feels included, represented and ready to flourish.
