Great Tey Primary
SchoolPHSE
PHSE (Personal, Health and Social Education) is an important part of our school curriculum. It helps children to develop the skills they need to form and keep healthy relationships; to value themselves and others; to resolve conflict and disagreements; to keep themselves safe and healthy through making good decisions about healthy eating, online safety, exercise, sleep and many other aspects of their day-to-day lives. PHSE also includes our Relationships and Sex education, which teaches children about changes to their own bodies, healthy relationships and, in an age-appropriate way, how babies are made. At Great Tey, Relationships and Sex education is taught from a Christian perspective of loving relationships
PHSE is taught through an online curriculum called Coram Life SCARF. SCARF stands for Safety, Caring, Achievement, Resilience and Friendship. It is taught on a two-year cycle, focusing on aspects such as Me and My Relationships; Valuing Difference; Keeping Myself Safe; Rights and Responsibilities, Being My Best; Growing and Changing. Our aim is to help children develop the decision-making skills necessary to live safe and fulfilling lives. A parent information sheet about SCARF can be found here. PHSE is an important but non-statutory curriculum subject - Government guidance on PHSE can be found here.
