These
are key aspects in the preparation of children for their lives now
and as adults
and, possibly, parents in the future. It is hoped that the Christian
ethos of the school – which emphasises a caring and considerate
atmosphere – develops respect for the individual, values the
achievements of everyone and encourages attitudes which enable children
to make a
positive contribution to, and live harmoniously with others in the
community.
At appropriate times opportunities are provided for responding to the
needs of
others, by supporting charities and appeals, both local and international. In Health Education the aim is to provide opportunities for children
to increase their understanding about their bodies and how they work.
This may include hygiene, diet, how to keep fit, use/misuse of drugs,
what it means to keep healthy, their personal responsibility for achieving
this and factors which promote it. Specific areas of the curriculum,
e.g. topic work on Food, Ourselves, Good Health, and the range of physical
activities offered support this.
