Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) and citizenship enables children to become healthy, independent and responsible members of society. At Millbrook Primary, we encourage our pupils to play a positive role in contributing to the life of the school. In doing so we develop their sense of worth. We teach them how society is organised and governed. We ensure they experience the process of democracy in school through the school and eco councils. The class representatives meet regularly to discuss school matters. We teach them about rights and responsibilities and they learn to appreciate what it means to be a positive member of a diverse multicultural society.
Spiritual, Moral, Social, Cultural (SMSC) development plays a significant part in a child's ability to learn and achieve. We therefore aim to provide an education that provides children with opportunities to explore and develop their own values and beliefs, spiritual awareness, high standards of personal behaviour, a positive caring attitude towards other people, an understanding of their social and cultural traditions and an appreciation of the diversity and richness of other cultures. This is embedded throughout all aspects of school life.
The PSHE/SMSC coordinator is: Miss Paul
Wellbeing team members: Miss Johnson, Miss Connelly, Mrs Andrew, Mrs King, Mrs Lawson.
This year the Wellbeing team will be working together to:
To promote equality of opportunity through a coherent SMSC offer that equips children to thrive in Modern Britain through developing concepts across the wellbeing subjects.
We asked the children 'What do you like about P.S.H.E'
"I like it when we do safety week and healthy schools week because we have lots of visitors teaching us new things.”
“Doing our theme days and trying the different foods from around the world."
"I liked learning about Henna from our visitors on diversity day”
“I liked it when the fire engine came”
“Our safety squad visit- I know how to stay safe, it was fun!”
FRE parents presentation 2020
Today’s children and young people are growing up in an increasingly complex world and living their lives seamlessly on and offline. This presents many positive and exciting opportunities, but also challenges and risks. In this environment, children and young people need to know how to be safe and healthy, and how to manage their academic, personal and social lives in a positive way.
This is why Relationships and Health Education is becoming compulsory in all primary schools in England in 2020.
We are clear that parents and carers are the prime educators for children on many of these matters. Millbrooks FRE education will complement and reinforce this role building on what pupils learn at home as an important part of delivering a good education.
Below is the details of the parents meeting hosted at Millbrook primary school in 2019 to gain parents views and shape our FRE curriculum.
The statutory guidance from the government is also below.
These fact files outline what will be taught in FRE in each year group 1-6. These are sent home at the beginning of the school year to help support you at home. FRE is taught throughout the year your class teacher will notify you on dojo what has been taught.

Public speaking: Millbrook Joke competition
Voice Box is a UK-wide joke competition for schools, which reminds people that all children need support to build their communication skills and confidence and some need additional specialist help to speak and/or understand what is being said to them. The competition is run by the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT). We hosted our own joke afternoon to boost the children's confidence when speaking publicly.There were 3 entries from each class and they performed their joke in front of the whole school. The chair of Governors then picked a winner. Well done to everyone who took part.

Cash box launch
We have launched Millbrook Saver’s Club alongside the credit union. The money saved with a credit union is protected by the FSCS just like a bank. Teaching children about money is an essential life skill and starting this at a young age is crucial. The saving club is teaching children about the value of money and how it is important to save for the things we want. It is not about the amount of money you save, it is about the process of having a savings book and seeing your money build up or setting a goal of buying an item and saving for it. Many children have bank accounts already but may not have knowledge of this or see the money building up as most of this is done online. Every child who joins the savings club will receive a paying in book which they can bring to school on a set day to pay in cash. This doesn’t have to be every week.
You can withdraw cash from the account if your child is saving for something by filling in a withdrawal form. This will take 2 days to complete and will be paid into the parents bank account.
We will have a collection day on Thursday’s. Children can come to the counter to pay in the money using their own savings book. There is no limit on paying in amounts it can be as little as 50p, it is more about the process. This also does not have to be every week.
If you haven't already signed up you can sign up in the office just bring along your driving licence or passport.
