Intent
At Chapel End Junior Academy, we are committed to providing our children with a curriculum that has a clear intention and impacts positively upon their needs. PSHE is at the heart of all we deliver at CEJA. Our whole school ethos, ‘Dream Believe Achieve’ and approach to children’s spiritual, moral, social and cultural development form the foundations to our personalised PSHE curriculum. Our school Life Values: Respect, Responsibility, Forgiveness, Honesty, Kindness, Equality, Determination and Friendship, underpin all of the PSHE teaching and learning.
The aim of our curriculum is to ensure our children learn to: Take Responsibility for themselves as a British citizen, a local citizen and a Chapel End Junior Academy student. Promoting and developing personal safety, healthy relationships, well-being, interests and confidence, within a secure, nurturing environment. Have Respect for themselves and others, exploring alternative viewpoints whilst understanding cultural and physical diversity. Embrace Equal Opportunities available to them and understand it is for all people, regardless of race, gender, sexual preference, disability, religious beliefs. |
Understand how all of these elements lead to a well-rounded person, who makes good decisions; is actively contributing to the community they serve; develops their own character and has a clear understanding of the pathway their life is taking whilst appreciating and respecting the life choices of others.
