Description

See here for an example of a Progression Map for PSHE, which explains the skill progression children will build upon from KS1 to KS2 when interacting with the objectives from the PSHE Association's Programme of Study for PSHE Education 2020. We believe in the development of self and understanding of others as the cornerstone of a successful PSHE curriculum. The Progression Map has been divided into six areas: Self and Others; Working Together; Managing Relationships; Keeping Safe and Healthy; Living in the Wider World and Growing Up, with associated vocabulary and big questions included at the end of each topic.
