ESSENTIAL CHARACTERISTICS OF CHILDREN WITH EXCEPTIONAL PERSONAL DEVELOPEMENT

At Rednal Hill Infant School, we believe that every child should feel valued, safe and confident so that they can thrive both in school and beyond.  Our PSHE and RHE curriculum is designed to ensure that every child feels valued, safe and included, enabling them to develop as happy, confident and caring individuals who are well prepared to contribute positively to their community and the wider world.

 Through the Jigsaw PSHE programme, children develop the knowledge, skills and understanding needed to support their emotional wellbeing, build positive relationships and become respectful members of our school community. Jigsaw's six themes, Being Me in My World, Celebrating Difference, Dreams and Goals, Healthy Me, Relationships and Changing Me, provide a progressive and child-centred curriculum that is revisited and built upon each year. This enables children to build on previous learning and develop a deeper understanding of themselves and others. Through discussion, reflection and practical activities, pupils learn how to recognise and manage their feelings, celebrate differences, show kindness and empathy, stay healthy and safe, and develop positive relationships both online and offline. By nurturing self-belief, resilience and respect, we equip our children with the foundations they need to flourish as happy, confident and caring individuals in an increasingly diverse world.

Our school motto ‘Achieve, Believe, Create’ and our school values, Respect, Fairness, Responsibility, Resilience, Trust and Honesty reflect our core beliefs. Children understand these values and aspire to demonstrate them in age-appropriate way.
