At Overchurch Junior school we are committed to enabling our pupils develop the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to keep themselves healthy and safe, and prepared for life and work. PSHE education offers both explicit and implicit learning opportunities and experiences which reflect pupils’ increasing independence and physical and social awareness, PSHE education helps pupils to manage the physical and emotional changes at puberty, introduces them to a wider world and enables them to make an active contribution to their communities.  The needs and interests of all our pupils, irrespective of gender, culture, ability or aptitude, will be promoted through the inclusive and varied PSHE curriculum at our school.
