PSHE

For PSHE at Vernon Primary School, we follow the PSHE Association's Thematic Model and their programmes of study, as well as the MyHappyMind programme for children's emotional and mental wellbeing.

The vision of the PSHE curriculum at Vernon Primary School is to provide every pupil with an understanding of:

• Relationships:
  • Families and friendships are explored and each family make up is celebrated.
  • Encouraging positive healthy relationships that are safe.
  • Teaching the children to respect themselves and others.

• Living in the wider World
  • Belonging to a community and how different views are valued.
  • Teaching the children about media literacy and building digital resilience.
  • Supporting the children in learning about money and the world of work.

• Health & wellbeing
  • The benefits of physical health and mental wellbeing.
  • Teaching the children about growing and changing.
  • Teaching children to keep safe.

At Vernon Primary School, we believe and strive for a positive environment where every child feels valued and respected, and their beliefs and culture are welcomed. Diversity is celebrated so every child can believe in themselves and be confident in our school moto:

‘Nobody Else is Quite Like Me’

We are proud to announce that we are a myHappymind Bronze Accredited school!

This means that as a school we consider the mental health and wellbeing of our children as one of our top priorities. We have created a whole school culture that helps build our children's resilience, confidence and self esteem as well as teaching them how to self regulate in those stressful times. 

This Accreditation badge has been awarded thanks to all the effort our staff, children, governors and parents have put in to bring the lessons of myHappymind to life all around our school!
