Personal, Social & Health Education
Intent
At Cuddington, we nurture the whole child through a rich, inclusive curriculum that supports emotional, physical, and academic growth.
By weaving together RSHE, SMSC, and Fundamental British Values, we prepare pupils to thrive, show respect and tolerance, and succeed in an ever-changing world. Our PSHE curriculum equips children with essential life skills and fosters independence, resilience, and responsibility.
Through links with local businesses and real-life learning, we inspire pupils to imagine future pathways and prepare for life beyond education.

We provide children with the knowledge and tools needed to take care of their own mental health and wellbeing. In the delivery of the DfE Relationship and Sex Education and Health Education there is a designed development of skills within first aid and mental health strategies. As part of our new programme, Coram Life Education, we welcome trained educators to deliver fun, engaging and memorable PSHE Education workshops to our children. Here they meet Harold the giraffe puppet (Healthy Harold) and friends and through practical experiences, they explore the all important choices and behaviours that help keep their mind happy and healthy.

As a school, we are exceptionally proud of the systems and strategies we have in place to promote personal development.
Our children are exposed to the Fundamental British Values (FBV) and they appreciate how these support their role as young members of modern society.
Opportunities to explore Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural development are woven throughout the wider curriculum and children are encouraged to ask the big questions, probing their own and their peers’ understanding.
The RE curriculum enables children to explore these questions further and compounds their empathy and understanding of other cultures.
Here are some sample plans:
The principles of Philosophy for Children gives pupils the opportunity to speak and be heard without fear of making a mistake. Children learn to work collaboratively, responding to and building on other people’s ideas and they also become caring thinkers – listening to and valuing differing opinions. They develop critical thinking skills - asking relevant questions and reasoning and this in turn leads to creative thinking whereby the children are able to make connections across the curriculum.
A planned approach to creating links between our personal development curriculum and academic subjects ensures that all subject staff are also active in the promotion of personal development opportunities within their subjects.
At Cuddington Primary School, we are blessed with wide, spacious woodland grounds. Our hidden curriculum aims to support our children’s wellbeing by providing positive outdoor experiences in a safe, natural environment. This is achieved through combining activities aimed at developing children’s skills and knowledge alongside child-led ventures.
Our Cuddington school community is well supported by our Create Learning Trust Family Support Worker, with robust support systems in place - this includes class worry boxes, classroom 'check ins', bespoke support packages for vulnerable children and accessible pastoral staff for all, who are present at the school doors every morning.
