Subject Story: My Body, Health and Wellbeing

Our Agreed consistencies for My Body/My Health and Wellbeing are:

 

  • Pupils have plenty of opportunity  to explore different elements of physical well-being and healthy lifestyles
 
  • We support pupils to learn about what good physical health means and how to look after themselves with as much independence as possible 

 
  • Pupils have plenty of opportunity  to develop an understanding of safe and positive choices and what good mental health means

 
  • We ensure pupils have opportunities to learn about keeping safe in daily life, strategies to be calm and relaxed as well as develop emotional resilience

 

  • We focus on pupils developing tolerance towards other people helping them, so they will find it easier to access, e.g. health services in the community

If you were to walk into a My Body/My Health and Wellbeing  lesson at Stone Bay School you would see:

  • Meaningful learning covering body parts, personal hygiene, positive relationships as well tailored links to support pupils through growth and development where appropriate
 
  • Secure personal routines, which promote a healthy body and mind in a conducive environment which encourages independence and skill progression for individual pupils’ needs

 

  • Pupils cooperating in physical activities alongside peers, practising sharing, turn taking, waiting and acceptance of boundaries and rules

In our My Body/My Health and Wellbeing curriculum you will see that we value inclusion and diversity:

  • The curriculum gives all pupils the opportunity to work towards becoming as independent as possible in order to move on to the next stage in their lives
 
  • We want pupils to be equipped to  build successful and safe relationships and to recognise their hopes, dreams and aspirations

 
  • Provide integrity for pupils as they learn about their own bodies, how they grow and change, how bodies are not all the same

 
  • Provide entitlement to be challenged physically, socially and affectively, experiencing sport and leisure outside of our school community.

 
  • We provide access to gain relevant benefits of different sports, adapted games, celebrations and physical events including competition and community physical activity
