PSHE (inc RSE) & British Values
To cater for the complex and varied Personal, Social, Health and Emotional needs of the pupils at Victoria Lane Academy, and to ensure we promote British Values, we follow a comprehensive, progressive scheme of work – SCARF.
To supplement this, we deliver weekly character-building lessons
We have incorporated British Values (Mutual tolerance & respect, Democracy, Individual Liberty and Rule of Law) into our wider curriculum.
The SCARF program and our character curriculum aim to develop 8 key traits (RESPECTS) in those who attend VLA:
- Resilience
- Empathy
- Self-awareness
- Positivity
- Excellence
- Communication
- Teamwork
- Safety
SCARF
The year is split into half terms, with the whole school (from Nursery to Year 6) covering the same themes at the same time. Click here to see our Long Term Plan for the whole school.
To see what teaching and learning looks like in each of the themes (Me & my Relationships, Valuing Difference, Keeping Safe, Rights Respecting, Being my Best, Growing & Changing) as children move through school and the spiral curriculum click here for our progression document.
Relationship and Sex Education makes up part of the SCARF programme. To see what/when statutory and non-statutory elements are covered, please clink on the individual overviews at the bottom of this page.
Character Curriculum
Every term, year groups from 1 – 6 will follow the journeys of the characters they are studying in History/Geography in a series of 10 missions (1 hour per week). During these missions, pupils will be working on their RESPECT character traits.
