Everyone at Oak Tree Primary School strives to create an environment where children feel that their social and emotional needs are met and nurtured. Personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education helps to give children the knowledge, skills and understanding they need to lead confident, healthy, independent lives and encompasses many areas of study such as: drug education; financial education; sex and relationship education (SRE); and the importance of physical activity and diet for a healthy lifestyle. We recognise that social and emotional wellbeing plays a fundamental and central part in the life of our school and is key to effective learning and achievement. At Oak Tree we use our PSHE education programme to equip pupils with a sound understanding of risk and with the knowledge and skills necessary to make safe and informed decisions.
