Curriculum

Life Studies (PSHE)

At Guru Nanak Sikh Academy our all-through vision is for PSHE for our pupils to leave school with the knowledge and understanding to play an active role as a member of a diverse society. Our aim is that all students have self confidence, self belief and have high aspirations to appreciate what it means to be a citizen as they embark on their journey into adulthood.

Through the journey from EYFS to KS5 pupils will progressively acquire the knowledge to begin to explore basic concepts such as understanding emotions, forming relationships, and developing personal hygiene habits. As they move into Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, pupils build on these foundations, learning about friendships, healthy living, safety, respect for others and start to look at money matters. They also begin to understand the importance of making good choices and recognizing different emotions and behaviours. At Key Stage 3 & 4, pupils will begin their transition into Secondary school and will learn about the challenges of adolescence and increasing independence. They will learn to manage diverse relationships, their online lives and the increasing influence from their peers and the media. They will learn about money and finance linking this to Careers and supporting mental health and wellbeing  At Key Stage 5, pupils will deepen their knowledge and prepare for life as adults. 

Pupils will achieve the skills to promote social harmony by encouraging respect and tolerance, volunteering and helping others in their communities. They will be able to make safe and informed choices about their mental and physical wellbeing to navigate life's challenges in modern Britain.
