PSHE & Wellbeing

In Autumn 1, our PSHE (Personal, Social, Health and Economic education) question is:

What makes up a person's identity?

Core Theme Health and Wellbeing

• how to recognise and respect similarities anddifferencesbetween people and what they have in common with others

• that there are a range of factors that contribute to a person’s identity (e.g. ethnicity, family, faith, culture, gender, hobbies, likes/dislikes)

• how individuality and personal qualities make up someone’s identity (including that gender identity is part of personal identity and for some people does not correspond with their biological sex)

• about stereotypes and how they are not always accurate, and can negatively influence behaviours and attitudes towards others

• how to challenge stereotypes and assumptions about others
