Personal, Social & Health Education

We use Coram Life Education’s SCARF curriculum from Pre-school to Year 6.  The five SCARF values; Safety, Caring, Achievement, Resilience, Friendship, align closely to the school’s Core Values of Care, Learn Together, Aim High, Look after What we Have and Be Honest. The SCARF values, alongside learning in RE, PE, and extra-curricular activities, also align with the key principles of SMSC (Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural development).   

The SCARF curriculum is a whole school approach to health and wellbeing which fulfils all DfE statutory requirements for Relationships & Health Education and by using the recommended half-termly programme template we ensure the the six units are taught comprehensively and progressively. The medium term planning and progression maps show how SCARF covers both the DfE statutory requirements and the PSHE Association’s advisory content, which together ensure a comprehensive, spiral curriculum for PSHE education. The SCARF approach mirrors our school’s approach to promoting the importance of wellbeing and looking after our mental health.  The detailed lesson plans and teacher training videos give teachers guidance on discussing sensitive topics, and plans highlight where themes might need an adapted approach for particular pupils, such as care experienced pupils, or those with SEND.
