At Mount Hawke Academy we use the SCARF PSHE scheme.
SCARF provides a comprehensive spiral curriculum for PSHE education, including mental health and wellbeing. Using SCARF across all age groups ensures progression in knowledge, attitudes and values, and skills – including the key skills of social and emotional learning, known to improve outcomes for children.
Our PSHE curriculum follows six units of study, each unit is revisited each year to enable progression in skills, knowledge and understanding. Apart from the Relationship and Sex Education topics in the Growing and Changing unit where we teach the children in their year group, we teach in a two year rolling programme. This means that all children in Year 5, for example, will be taught the Year 5 or Year 6 units and the opposite unit the following year.
The six units are:
- Me & My Relationships
- Valuing Difference
- Keeping Myself Safe
- Rights & Responsibilities
- Being My Best
- Growing & Changing
