including Physical Education (P.E.) and Forest School, Personal, Social, Health and Economic, (P.S.H.E.) and Relationships and Sex Education (RSE)
Personal and Physical Development subjects enable us to develop an understanding of how to look after ourselves, and to be mentally and physically healthy. These subjects give us skills that enable us to make decisions for ourselves. They help us to understand how to approach others that can help us to maintain a healthy life and to seek their advice, support and counsel when we are not feeling so well. By studying these subjects we learn how to assess and manage risk, how to remain motivated in the face of challenge, and how to navigate a complex world whilst taking responsibility for our own decisions. We learn how to look out for one another, how to work together to achieve shared goals and how to challenge those around us who might make decisions that do us or they harm.
Outdoor Learning and Forest School Skills Progression
Physical Education in school is one of the most powerful ways to assist with present and future health issues both mentally and physically.
Physical development opportunities and learning on the move are central to how children learn and play in our sensory integrated school. It is an explicit skill within the QI skills umbrella.
