CPSHE
Forest View aims to develop emotionally resilient students who have strategies to cope with the demands of school life and living in the wider world. We teach children how to be healthy, safe, have healthy relationships and to have an understanding of the world they live in. We embed the fundamental British values. We teach and celebrate tolerance, diversity and respect.
What is our approach to CPHSE?
Our CPHSE curriculum is based around three core themes of: Health and Wellbeing, Relationships and Living in the Wider World. The whole school scheme is based on the GHLL (Gloucestershire Healthy Living and Learning) resources.
We have a long term plan for our assemblies to ensure all aspects of CPHSE and SMSC are covered, including coverage of British Values and we integrate and address big themes in society relating to cultural history and dates of significance (e.g. Black History Month, Remembrance Sunday). Diversity and multi-cultures are celebrated; culture and self-identity is a key part of student’s understanding of themselves and others.
We have planned charity days and visitors to enhance our PHSE curriculum.
