Personal, Social and Health Education – Intent, Implementation and Impact Statement
SCARF: Safety, Caring, Achievement, Resilience, Friendship
At Longleaze Primary School we use the SCARF programme of learning to develop our children’s understanding of staying safe, caring for others, resilience and relationships. The programme is centred on a values-based and ‘Growth Mindset’ approach, which promotes positive behaviour, mental health, wellbeing, resilience and achievement. More than just a PSHE scheme of work, SCARF supports great learning every day.
There is a proven link between pupils’ health and wellbeing, and their academic progress. Crucial skills and positive attitudes developed through comprehensive Personal, Social, Health and Economic education (PSHE) are critical to ensuring children are effective learners. SCARF provides a whole-school approach to building these essential foundations – crucial for children to achieve their best, academically, and socially.
SCARF lesson plans are organised around the PSHE Association’s Programmes of Study Learning Opportunities. SCARF is also mapped to the new DfE guidance for Relationships Education and Health Education, The PSHE Association’s Programmes of Study Learning Opportunities, the National Curriculum, Curriculum for Excellence and Ofsted’s requirements.
British Values at Longleaze Primary School
SCARF provides a robust framework for promoting a positive ethos and values cross the school community, contributing significantly to British Values education, both explicitly and implicitly. The focus across the three themes of Health and Wellbeing, Relationships and Living in the Wider World foster and develop children’s responsibility for their own actions; respect for the actions and beliefs of others; an understanding of how each individual is protected by the rule of law; and how everyone can make a positive contribution to society through the democratic process.
Many SCARF lessons relate directly to one or all of the British Values’ themes of:
• Democracy
• The rule of law
• Individual liberty and
• Mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.
