When children feel secure in their relationships and understood in their experiences, they are able to grow in confidence and self-understanding.
We recognise that many of our pupils require a relational and trauma-informed approach to learning. Through strong, consistent relationships and calm, predictable routines, we create an environment where every child feels supported to explore, reflect, and develop at their own pace.
Our Approach
In our PSHE classrooms, learning is rooted in safety, trust, and respect. Lessons are structured yet flexible, allowing pupils to engage with sensitive or complex topics in a way that feels manageable and secure.
We understand that:
- Emotions are part of learning
- Mistakes are opportunities for growth
- Progress looks different for every child
Effort, honesty, resilience, and personal development are consistently recognised and celebrated.
What Pupils Learn
Our PSHE curriculum builds the knowledge, skills, and confidence pupils need both in school and beyond. Through carefully sequenced and personalised learning experiences, pupils develop:
- Emotional literacy – the ability to name, understand, and manage feelings safely
- Resilience and self-regulation – strategies to cope with challenge and change
- Social confidence – skills for communication, teamwork, and healthy relationships
- Independence and life skills – preparation for adulthood and community participation
Lessons cover key areas including:
- Relationships and Relationships Education
- Mental health and emotional wellbeing
- Online and digital safety
- Citizenship and community awareness
- Personal safety
- Independent living skills

Preparing for the Future
We want every pupil to leave Jubilee School with:
- Confidence in who they are
- The emotional awareness to understand themselves and others
- The social skills to build healthy relationships
- The resilience to overcome challenges
- The self-belief to make informed, positive choices
PSHE at Jubilee School is more than a subject — it is a vital part of how we nurture wellbeing, character, and hope for the future. Through compassionate teaching, high expectations, and meaningful relationships, we empower every pupil to move forward into adulthood with resilience, dignity, and optimism.
