St Elphin's CE Primary School

PSHE&RSE are led by Mrs Buckley.

Mrs Buckley works closely with groups of children from across school to ensure that their voice is heard and that they are plying an active role in school, school partnership and community development work.

At St Elphin's our Personal, Social, Health Education/Relationships, Sex Education curriculum is taught through the HeartSmart Programme. HeartSmart is a creative approach to delivering the PSHE and RSE Curriculum; it is used to build character, emotional health and resilience in children. It equips them with foundational principles, skills, habits and a mindset that will improve their mental health, relationships and academic achievement. We have a focussed session each week although the principles are embedded into much of our curriculum. Our HeartSmart programme links very closely to our Christian Values and forms part of our class collective worship. We recognise the Heartsmart principles as part of being a good Christian and being the best that we can be for ourselves and others.

Boris, HeartSmart’s very own purpose-built Robot, provides a fun, interactive and dynamic way for children to explore their hearts, the very thing that makes them unique.
Heartsmart follows five main principles that the children review each week. We focus on a different one each half term, you learn more about the programme here: https://youtu.be/WI9XpRqJXwQ
