Primary – Phases 1 & 2

Brook

At Milestone Academy Personal, Social and Physical Development is considered as important as other core curriculum subjects; we ensure that it is taught with equal emphasis as core subjects to ensure our students leave us as independent as possible. The progress students make in PSPD is assessed, tracked and monitored every two terms and is referred to as PSEWB within the Brook curriculum. Students will access an Individual Learning Plan to map out their small step learning progression, in PSEWB, over the term. In addition students have an EHCP target individually written to focus on personal and social development. 

PSPD as a subject allows students to acquire the knowledge, understanding and skills they need to manage their lives, now and in the future, and to be as independent as possible.

Within the PSEWB section of the brook curriculum focus is given on a rolling programme to: Eating, drinking, toileting, washing, mouth hygiene and dressing skills. In addition we incorporate Relationship and Sex Education (RSE) and physical health and well-being where appropriate for the age and need of the individual student and also maintain fundamental British Values and supporting Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural development (SMSC) in our young people.
