Thames View Primary School

PSHCE (Personal, Social, Health and Cultural Education) empowers our children to focus on their physical and mental health, as well as becoming responsible members of a community and the wider society. They will explore a range of social and moral issues that are part of growing up. Throughout the school, we promote an open environment where all opinions are shared and respected equally about these issues. As a school, we ensure that lessons are age-appropriate and within the guidelines of the National Curriculum and PSHE association.
