Here at SJSJ, we strive for excellence by providing a safe, secure, caring family environment, where each individual is valued and respected as an individual, enabling them to reach their full potential.

PSHE & Citizenship Curriculum

Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) and citizenship, promotes pupils’ personal social and emotional development, as well as their health and well-being. It supports pupils with the knowledge, skills and understanding to play an effective role in society at local, national and international levels. It helps them become informed, thoughtful and responsible individuals who are aware of their duties and rights. It aims to help pupils to understand how they are developing personally and socially, and tackles many of the moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up. It gives children an understanding of the rights and responsibilities that are part of being a good citizen, which enables them to play an active and healthy part in the life of our school, their community and the world.

We follow the Jigsaw scheme of work for PSHE, which has an integrated whole school approach.  Each half term begins with a whole school assembly to introduce the theme.  This is then reflected in each week’s focus value.  Each class has a weekly PSHE session to explore these themes. This subject is taught mainly with various hands on activities, discussions, debates and circle time.

PSHE Themes

  • Autumn 1: Being me in my world
  • Autumn 2: Celebrating difference
  • Spring 1: Dream and goals
  • Spring 2: Healthy me
  • Summer 1: Relationships
  • Summer 2:  Changing me

British Values

All staff at St John and St James strive to ensure that our pupils leave with the strongest foundation of values upon which to build a successful life and make a positive contribution to our society.

The fundamental British values are:

  • Democracy
  • Rule of law
  • Individual liberty
  • Mutual respect and tolerance for those with different faiths.

The DfE’s non-statutory guidance on promoting British values in schools outlines the understanding and knowledge expected of pupils as a result of schools meeting the requirement “to promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.”

To see how we promote British Values within our school community and curriculum, please see the links below:
