Cedars Manor attaches great importance to Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) and its place in the school curriculum. We aim to help each child to develop a positive self-image and establish his/her own values and personal qualities. Children will gain self-awareness, positive self-esteem and confidence through:

• Fostering and encouraging each child's personal and social development;

• Encouraging each child's integration within a variety of social situations

• Respecting the differences between people

• Encouraging and promoting physical exercise and understanding the importance of a sensible diet

• Staying as healthy as possible

• Keeping themselves and others safe

• Developing independence and responsibility

• Becoming informed, thoughtful, active and responsible citizens

The PSHE curriculum is delivered through a programme called Jigsaw; Jigsaw PSHE brings together Personal, Social, Health and Economic education, emotional literacy, social skills and spiritual development in a lesson-a-week programme. Further information about this programme can be found at https://www.jigsawpshe.com. In addition we use NSPCC resources, and Childline visit the school to carry out assemblies and workshops focused on safeguarding for pupils in years 5 and 6. We have a strong Anti-Bullying Policy, and an Anti-Bullying Charter created by pupils via the school council. The aim of the anti-bullying policy is to ensure that pupils learn in a supportive, caring and safe environment without fear of being bullied.
