At Forest Town, we are responsible citizens! Through our PSHE curriculum, we want our children to develop the knowledge and skills to thrive personally and socially, understanding the world around them and their role within it. We encourage our children to engage with key topics such as mental health, relationships, and financial knowledge, fostering a sense of self-awareness and responsibility. Our carefully constructed curriculum inspires children to reflect on their values and the impact of their choices, equipping them to navigate challenges with resilience and empathy. Our goal is for our children to leave their PSHE lessons with a strong sense of who they are, the issues that shape their world, and the confidence to make a meaningful difference.

At the end of KS2, a Forest Town child will have:

• Shown they are adventurous by taking part in class discussions and furthered their understanding through asking questions
• The ability to persevere if problems arise and understand who they can speak to for support
• Shown kindness and respect towards other people’s differences and choices
• Created and maintained healthy relationships when working together
• Independently shared their own views and opinions with others
• A feeling of responsibility about the choices they make and will make in the future
