At Gosford Park, we believe that children are all individuals and therefore, we foster an environment of mutual respect, responsibility and nurturing self-esteem in a happy, safe and caring atmosphere. We aim to create an ethos that is rooted in acceptance, kindness, generosity and helpfulness where diversity is accepted and celebrated by all stakeholders. We want children to leave Gosford Park proud of their own personal identity and a sense of belonging and high self-worth. The teaching and learning of PSHE at Gosford Park supports and upholds this vision.

Personal, Social, Health Education is central to our curriculum; it helps children grow and develop as individuals and as members of families and communities. Through PSHE pupils will have the knowledge, understanding, skills and attitudes they need to lead confident, healthy, independent and aspirational lives and to become informed, active and responsible citizens. Pupils are encouraged to take part in a wide range of activities and experiences across and beyond the curriculum, contributing fully to school life and the wider community. They reflect on their experiences and understand how they are developing personally and socially, tackling many of the spiritual, moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up and within the wider world. They learn to understand and respect our common humanity, diversity and differences so that they can go on to form the effective, fulfilling relationships that are an essential part of life and learning.
