About

PSHE is vital in a child's education. 

At Long Row, we are revitalising how PSHE is taught, communicated and supported in our school.

We have a new scheme called 'PSHE Matters' which is developed by the council and encompasses the Government's expectations for children's mental health, emotional, relationship and social education (and much more!)

Our current aim is to communicate with parents what we are talking about in school and to develop a Parent Group and a NEW Lending Library...(see below for more information) 

Please click the links below to find out more about PSHE, RSE and how to keep your children safe and talk to them about different areas.

KS1 and KS2

The PSHE curriculum is based around the Derbyshire County Council’s ‘PSHE Matters’ framework and is implemented on a two year cycle A and B.

Cycle A 

Cycle B

The units have been separated into half terms so each half term has a specific focus. 

The children are encouraged to engage in activities that promote an understanding of themselves as growing and changing individuals, and as members of a wider community, based on their own first hand experiences. These activities also encourage pupils to understand how their choices and behaviours can affect others.

NEW FOR THIS YEAR! 

PARENT LENDING LIBRARY

We have been fortunate to secure a £1000 grant from the Derbyshire County Council.  This grant is funding books for you to borrow to read and discuss with your child. 

How it works

You or your child’s teacher may notice your child needs help with:

• Behaviour
• Social issues
• Emotions
• Anxiety or worries
• Questions on puberty
• Internet safety
• Grief
• Separation / divorce

We have started our collection of books, which aim to open up discussion with your child in a relaxed and informative way and/or give ideas and support. A synopsis of the books are available in the school office and online.

Teachers may offer a book or you can request one by speaking to your child’s teacher or the school office. The more books parents borrow; the more grant money we will receive to get more books for these and other categories.

Below is a link to the list and synopsis of books we have.

Parent Group                                                                                              

We are looking for parents to join our Parent Group. 

The group will meet with Mrs North two - three times a year to:

• Discuss PSHE and RSE
• Help organise the parent lending library
• Support the production of parent guidance
• Put forward ideas and suggestions

How do I get involved?

If you would like to join please contact us via email: info@longrow.derbyshire.sch.uk putting 'Parent Support Group' in the subject box or speak to Mrs North at school.

Looking forward to seeing more of you...
