PSHE Curriculum

From September 2020, PSHE has been statutory in schools.  At Saint Mary's we have always taught PSHE weekly and have always recognised its importance. We will be following a tailored curriculum to meet the needs of our pupils. Our curriculum includes a behaviour curriculum and equality work. Sex and relationships education will also be statutory but again, this is something we have always covered. Our Sex and Relationships education is taught using a Salford Diocese approved scheme called A Journey in Love. Parents and carers will always be informed before a class is taught Sex and Relationships Education. Parents are always welcome to view the work being covered before it is taught. An outline of our PSHE Curriculum can be seen below:

British Values

Please see the attached document for how Saint Mary's teaches British Values throughout our school curriculum:

Picture News

Our pupils all take part in Picture News as a class weekly. Picture News is a resource which chooses a prominent news story or issue which pupils can discuss at their level with their teacher and class. Picture News also links specifically to British Values. You can see the coverage documents below:
