PSHE

In diversity there is beauty and there is strength

PSHE at Clapgate

Our PSHE curriculum is based on the Jigsaw scheme and has been thoughtfully adapted to reflect the needs, experiences and values of our school community. It provides children with a structured programme of learning that supports their personal, social, emotional and health development from early years through to the end of primary school.

The curriculum is organised around six key themes, which are revisited and developed progressively as children grow:

  • Being Me in My World – Children develop a positive sense of self, learn about their rights and responsibilities, consider their place within their class and wider community, and explore how their choices and actions affect others.
  • Celebrating Difference – Children learn to recognise and celebrate diversity, appreciate similarities and differences between people, challenge stereotypes and develop empathy, respect and inclusion.
  • Dreams and Goals – Children explore their aspirations, set personal goals and develop perseverance, resilience and a growth mindset. They learn how effort, teamwork and positive attitudes can help them overcome challenges and achieve their ambitions.
  • Healthy Me – Children develop an understanding of how to look after their physical and mental health. Learning includes healthy lifestyles, nutrition, exercise, sleep, emotional wellbeing, safety and making positive choices.
  • Relationships – Children learn how to build and maintain positive relationships with family, friends and others. They explore communication, kindness, trust, respect, boundaries, conflict resolution and how to recognise and respond to relationships that may be unsafe or unhealthy.
  • Changing Me – Children develop an age-appropriate understanding of growth, change and personal development. This includes learning about emotions, body changes, relationships and growing up, helping children to approach change with confidence and understand how to keep themselves safe.

Across all six themes, children are encouraged to develop the knowledge, vocabulary, skills and confidence they need to make informed choices and navigate the opportunities and challenges they encounter. Lessons provide opportunities for discussion, reflection and active participation, enabling children to connect their learning to real-life experiences.

Our PSHE curriculum therefore supports the development of the whole child, helping pupils to become confident, respectful, resilient and responsible individuals who understand themselves, value others and contribute positively to their school and wider community.

Children’s Mental Health Week 2026

“This is My Place”

The theme focused on belonging—we discussed how children feel accepted, valued, included and connected within their families, schools, friendships and communities. We highlighted that a strong sense of belonging is fundamental to children’s mental health and well-being. Everyone made purple bracelets to celebrate that we belong to the Clapgate team; this is one of our safe places, and we are all together!

  • Everyone deserves to feel they belong.
  • Small acts of kindness help others feel included.
  • Every child has a place where they can learn, grow and be themselves.
  • Strong relationships support positive mental health.
  • Schools can create environments where every child feels safe, respected and heard.
