Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education
‘Nothing can dim the light that shines from within.’
Maya Angelou
At St Nicolas, we want our Personal, social, health and economic Education (PSHE) to ensure children develop attitudes and values that help them to show respect, empathy, build stable and loving relationships and make good decisions.
Children develop personal and social skills, including self-respect, confidence and empathy as well as the ability to manage emotions and the skills to keep themselves safe. They also learn about the physical and emotional changes we face as we grow older, learning the correct vocabulary to describe themselves and their bodies and how to keep healthy and stay safe.
PSHE is taught using the JIGSAW teaching programme and lessons are delivered by class teachers on a weekly basis.

We aim to create an open culture around the discussion of mental health and wellbeing and to empower our children be able to regulate their emotions. By implementing the Zones of Regulation curriculum we aim to teach our pupils to identify emotions in themselves and others and provide them with bank of strategies to help regulate their emotions and improve their wellbeing.
