PSHRE
PSHRE at St Andrew's Infant School, Leyland
At St Andrew’s we are guided by our Christian values which are: Truthfulness, Thankfulness, Compassion, Perseverance, Forgiveness and Friendship. These values underpin our broad and balanced curriculum and we believe that our PSHRE curriculum enables our children to become healthy, independent and responsible members of society. Our curriculum aims to help all children understand how they are developing personally and socially, and tackles many of the moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up.
We provide our children with opportunities for them to learn about rights and responsibilities and appreciate what it means to be a member of a diverse society. Our children are encouraged to develop their sense of self-worth by playing a positive role in contributing to school life, our Christian family and the wider community. We teach children to develop resilience, to manage risks and to know how and when to ask for help. Through PSHRE and our wider curriculum, we promote the spiritual, moral, social, cultural, mental and physical development of all our children. We nurture and inspire children to achieve their very best, in the knowledge that with God, they can achieve anything.
