Health
At Hibaldstow Academy we aim to achieve high academic standards by encouraging independent learning in a stimulating and child-centred environment. Creativity, in all its aspects, is integrated throughout the curriculum.
The community revolves around respect: for each other, and for the building in which we work. The atmosphere is one of mutual trust, tolerance and friendship.
We aim for the pupils to develop over the course of time into responsible, self-confident, aware young people ready to embrace the challenges of secondary education.
What is PSHCE?
PSHCE is the teaching of personal, social, health and citizenship education. The subject fosters the personal development, health and wellbeing of the individual child, to help them to create and maintain supportive relationships and become an active and responsible citizen in society.
- Be Healthy
- Stay Safe
- Enjoy and Achieve
- Make a Positive Contribution
- Achieve Economic Well-Being
The School’s aims are founded upon the skills that we hope to develop through PSHCE across the school: independent learning, creativity, a community that revolves around respect, an atmosphere of mutual trust, tolerance and friendship, self-confidence, awareness and readiness to embrace the challenges.
In PSHCE the school aims:
- To ensure the 5 strands of Every Child Achieves are embedded in medium term plans across the curriculum.
- To ensure that safeguarding and promoting pupils' welfare forms an integral part of planning and teaching.
- To promote the welfare of all pupils and create an ethos of working collaboratively, respecting diversity and promoting equality throughout the school.
- To deliver a pupil-centred curriculum based upon the pupils' and individual needs.
- To enable the pupils to talk and express their feelings and opinions freely within a safe environment.
- To encourage the pupils to reflect on the many spiritual, moral, social and cultural issues in their lives.
- To enable the pupils to play an active role as members of a democratic society.
- To develop and encourage partnerships with parents, carers and our local community.
SEAL resources are used to support the delivery of the North Lincolnshire Recommended Programme of Study.
We teach PSHCE through four strands:
- Developing confidence and responsibility
- Preparing to play an active role as citizens
- Developing a healthy, safer lifestyle
- Developing good relationships and respecting the differences between people.
In order to deliver these aspects we use a variety of approaches such as circle time, videos and discussion. The School Health Advisor and Community Support Police Team work with us to enhance the children's learning.
We have a very active School Council, who involve themselves in decision-making within the school and in the local community.
Sex and Relationship Education forms an integral part of our Health Education Programme. Staff and parents liaise, making sure that the parents are informed of the content of the programme. The School Health Advisor is involved in the delivery of this topic.
This subject is not only concerned with knowledge of facts but also with the development of attitudes and values, relations with other people, respecting the rights and feelings of others and developing responsible relationships. Staff will answer questions as they occur naturally throughout the curriculum taking into account the individual child's maturity and understanding.
