At Sele First School, we see Personal Development as the golden thread that runs through all areas of our curriculum and school life to prepare our children for life beyond school.
Our PSHE curriculum allows children to explore and develop knowledge, skills and expertise which they can apply now as well as preparing them for opportunities, responsibilities and experiences in the future. The Programme of Study enhances children’s spiritual, moral, social and cultural development and is divided into three key topics – Health and Wellbeing, Relationships and Living in The Wider World. Interwoven into these key topics, children access age-appropriate lessons inline with the statutory Relationships and Sex Education
curriculum. Our curriculum is regularly reviewed to reflect the rapidly changing world in which our children are living in.
Throughout their time at Sele First School, children are provided with a wide range of rich opportunities across all curriculum areas to develop their confidence, resilience and independence. The personal development of our children is a high priority and the extra-curricular provision across school allows for this development whilst children can also pursue their talents and interests.
Through our PSHE curriculum, we want to develop and deepen the children’s understanding of the values of democracy, liberty and the rule of law through mutual respect and tolerance. We want children to make wise decisions that guide their behaviour so that they are able to cooperate with others within the diverse society of modern Britain. In all aspects of school life, we celebrate our differences and what makes everyone unique, within our school and the wider community.
In addition to discrete, year group specific PSHE lessons, we have whole school units of work throughout the year. For example, Pantosaurus Day, Family Diversity (using Stone Wall texts), Human Rights Fortnight and Fairtrade Fortnight. These give children access to a wide range of opportunities to help develop their skills and knowledge.

Friday 8 November 2024 Remembrance Day 2024 In preparation for Remembrance Day, the children have been busy creating beautiful poppies for a special display outside our school. Using a variety of materials like paper, felt, twigs and wool, each child designed their own unique poppy, symbolising respect and remembrance for those who have served. They’ve been learning about the significance of the poppy and discussing why we wear them to honour the sacrifices made during times of war. The display is now filled with these handmade poppies, showing our school community's shared respect and gratitude as we commemorate this important day.
