PSHE and SMSC
PSHE and SMSC are imperative at our school. At St Anne’s RC Primary School, we use PSHE and SMSC to teach children about citizenship, health and well-being, physical activity, mental and emotional health, drug education and relationships. The teaching of PSHE and SMSC has a vital role in helping to prepare our children for their futures and underpins our mission statement, ensuring that every child is given every chance to succeed.
How do we teach PSHE in our school?
Each half term we have a new ‘big question’ relating to PSHE. we explore this question and record our initial responses. We then use that question as the starting point for our learning…
We then revisit it at then end of the half term and see how our views have changed and what we have learned… It’s always much more that we realise!

Below are some useful links to help you speak to your children about staying safe when walking and cycling around our area, particularly during these darker nights.
