ArundelPersonal, Social & Health Education @ ACE (PSHE)
At Arundel Church of England Primary School, we aim for all children to develop an enthusiasm for, and
enjoyment of PSHE education. We strive to develop their knowledge and understanding of what a healthy relationship looks like, as well as how they can develop and nurture their own physical and mental health.
We teach children the skills of asking and answering questions, to share concerns and be able to discuss anything that is of concern to them. We do this in a safe and supportive learning environment.
We strive to develop confident learners, who are able to talk about their feelings openly in safe and mutually respected classrooms.
