Personal, Social and Health Education form part of the National Curriculum. The aim is to help children and young people develop fully as individuals and as members of families and social and economic communities. Although there is a planned approach to the teaching of PSHE, sometimes themes/discssions are based on the experiences and enquiries that are raised by the children.
PACE and Restorative Practice - At St Joseph’s, staff use the P.A.C.E approach to help rebuild and improve children’s self-esteem. Within all areas of school life, restorative practice has been imbedded to support children when things ‘go wrong’. Staff are aware of key questions to ask which will support the children to solve conflict and problems in a calm environment to explore what happened without blame or judgement. All staff carry key questions to ask in the event of conflict and support posters are also in the classroom displayed on the ‘Wellness Wall’.
