Subject Story: My Social Emotional and Wellbeing

Our Agreed consistencies for My Social and Emotional Wellbeing are:

Opportunities for pupils to explore their own identity -e.g. through describing their own appearance, communicating interests, likes and dislikes and what makes each one of us unique
Pupils will develop their skills in safely expressing and exploring their own feelings and emotions using the Zones of Regulations.
Opportunities to develop an understanding of safe and positive choices and what good mental health means
Pupils will work on interacting positively with others, practising sharing, turn taking, negotiating and making a positive contribution to their community.
Adults will continuously model positive relationships, clear boundaries and respect for each other.

If you were to walk into a My Social and Emotional Wellbeing lesson at Stone Bay School you would see:

Pupils engage in motivating and fun activities with their peers.
Pupils are encouraged to make choices about all aspects of their school day.
Pupils play alongside each other (parallel play), sharing space and starting to collaborate.
Pupils take part in group activities, interacting with each other, practising sharing, turn taking, waiting, helping and adhering to boundaries and rules.
Pupils enjoy and take an active part in celebration assemblies.
Older pupils are out and about in the community, e.g. to access work experience sessions.

In our My Social and Emotional Wellbeing curriculum you will see that we value inclusion and diversity:

The My Social and Emotional Wellbeing curriculum supports all pupils in developing key skills for their personal development and prepares them for adult life.

Teaching is tailored to the strengths and needs of each individual pupil. Learning is supported through a variety of specialist strategies and teaching approaches to meet the needs of every child.

Pupils are given the opportunity to engage in a rich variety of experiences in and outside school to help them develop confidence and self-esteem.

Pupils at Stone Bay School say this about

My Social and Emotional Wellbeing:

“I love playing with my friends”
“I like making people happy”
“When I am in the yellow zone, my teacher will say: do you need 5 minutes of calm time?”
“I can use a choice board to choose the dark room”
“I love looking after the animals at TAG Pet rescue”

British Values and Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural Learning (SMSC) in My Social and Emotional Wellbeing:

Spiritual – by playing with each other, exploring different places of work, being in each others company and sharing experiences, pupils build their confidence and self esteem

Moral – through being with others and developing their social skills, pupils are able to form their own opinions, listen to those of others, make their own choices and develop their own identity.

Social (including British Values) – pupils are able to work, play and learn alongside others. They have access to the local community, getting to know people outside school and expanding their opportunities for social interaction.

Cultural (including British Values) – pupils take part in a wide variety of opportunities celebrating culture and diversity. Pupils take part in celebration assemblies and special days, careers days, welcome visitors and guest speakers in school. They access the local community for visits to places of work and places of different cultural interest.

Article 15 – Every child has the right to meet with other children and to join groups and organisations, as long as this does not stop other people from enjoying their rights.

My Identity

Pupils will develop their ability to communicate their interests, what is important to them and what makes them unique. They will learn about family and friends and work towards developing their own unique identity.
This will provide a vital foundation to the personal development of our young people in preparing them for adult life.

My Feelings and Emotions

Pupils will grow their understanding of their own feelings and how to communicate them. They will learn strategies to help them make positive choices, for example, using the Zones of Regulation. Over time, pupils will develop an understanding for safe people and relationships and experience what good mental health means to them.

My Social Skills

Every one of our pupils deserves a unique personal pathway that will help them achieve their full potential, develop happy, healthy, safe relationships and live a fulfilling life. Our pupils will work towards becoming as independent as possible in their interactions with others. They will practice sharing, turn taking, negotiating and making a positive contribution to their community.
Pupils will continuously work on developing a positive attitude and showing respect and tolerance towards others.
