Personal,Social and Health Education
In PSHE pupils learn about the world they live in , how to become a global citizen and skills that will help them all the way into adulthood.
PSHE is taught through 3 streams :
Relationships
Living in the in the wider world
Health and Well being.
We run theme weeks throughout the year including: Friendship Week, Road Safety Week and Healthy Week.
For Kindness week last year we used our artistic skills to show how to be kind and work collaboratively with others.
Our school has achieved the Healthy Schools London Bronze award demonstrating our school’s dedication to both developing the children academically and wholistically.
We take part in the Junior Travel Ambassador Scheme run by Transport for London. Our JTAs help to encourage road safety and sustainable travel throughout the school. They do this through assemblies, running competitions and events and maintaining their own notice board.
School Council
Each year our School council enjoy running charity events to help the local and global communities.The children meet at the beginning of the school year and decide which charities they would like to support. They ask their class mates for ideas of fundraising activities that they could do.
The children have organised a bake sale to raise money for the RSPCA, they have organised a whole school planting day to support the wildlife trust and they have organised a reverse advert. During the reverse advent the whole school got involved by bringing in a dry or canned good that was then donated to the local homeless shelter.

The School council is made up of two members of each class voted for by their classmates on our polling day. They play an important role in school life. They represent the views of the pupils in weekly meetings and put their ideas for change forward to the head teacher.
This year our chair of governers presented the children with their official school council badges.
The children also take part in the We Schools programme in collaboration with free the children. They choose one cause that they would like to help with in the local community and one global issue that they want to support. Throughout the year they organise events in order to raise money and help make changes to the world.
