At Keyworth Primary School, we are dedicated to providing a dynamic and inclusive PSHE curriculum that fosters confident, ambitious and future-focused individuals within our community. Through thoughtfully designed and creatively delivered lessons, children develop the knowledge, skills and values crucial for their personal growth and well-being.

Our curriculum focuses on three core themes of PSHE:

Core Theme 1: Health and Wellbeing
This theme helps children understand how to maintain a healthy lifestyle—physically, emotionally, and mentally. Topics include healthy habits, managing life changes, building emotional resilience and staying safe. Children also learn how to make informed choices and where to find help when necessary.

Core Theme 2: Relationships
Centred on fostering positive, respectful relationships, this theme enables children to build emotional awareness, recognise healthy and unhealthy interactions and appreciate diversity in families and friendships. It covers key concepts like empathy, consent, online safety and knowing where to turn if relationships become difficult or unsafe.

Core Theme 3: Living in the Wider World
This theme equips children to be active, responsible citizens in a diverse world. It covers important topics such as rights and responsibilities, financial well-being, environmental stewardship and embracing diversity. Pupils also learn about managing money, participating in their communities and understanding their role in a global society.

Anti-Bullying Week and Odd Socks Day

All classes completed activities during their lessons around what bullying is and what they can do if someone is being unkind to them or  someone else. The children in year 6 designed posters with an aim of educating others about the need to stop bullying and what actions to take should they witness any form of bullying.

Odd Socks Day marks the start of Anti-Bullying Week. It’s an opportunity to encourage people to express themselves, and celebrate their individuality and what makes us all unique! 

Children in Need

One of our school values is Connected to the Community: we have a strong sense of being a
part of and having responsibility for our community. This year, we dressed up in
spots/stripes/colourful clothes to raise money for the BBC Children in Need Appeal.
Thank you to everyone who donated and to these children who collected money at the school
gate through dance, encouragement and enthusiasm!

Children’s Mental Health Week – Express Yourself!

The theme for 2025 was Know Yourself, Grow Yourself, with the aim to equip and empower
children and young people across the UK to embrace self-awareness and explore what it means
to them. We want children and young people to discover how getting to know who they are can
help them build resilience, grow and develop. Below are some children expressing themselves…

For Children’s Mental Health Week, children in Year 6 discussed the importance of being self aware and how to manage their emotions. They created informative posters, linked to this year's theme 'Know Yourself, Grow Yourself!'

LIFTING LIMITS

Lifting Limits delivers lessons focusing on gender equality within our PSHE curriculum. Within the half termly Lifting Limits lessons, it involves challenging gender stereotypes through practical learning. Although Lifting Limits is taught through our PSHE lessons, it is also embedded across the whole school curriculum as well.

Mental Health Awareness Week 2025

For this year's Mental Health Awareness Week, we celebrated the power and importance of community. Being part of a safe, positive community is vital for our mental health and well-being. As a school community, we wore green to promote
positive mental health - green signifies new life, new growth, and new beginnings.
