PSHE Education
We use the SCARF scheme of work to teach children PSHE at St Bartholomew's.
'There's now a proven link between pupils' health and wellbeing, and their academic progress. Crucial skills and positive attitudes developed through comprehensive Personal, Social, Health and Economic education (PSHE) are critical to ensuring children are effective learners.'

Mindfulness Mondays at St Bartholomew's
Each Monday, the children at St Bartholomew's take part in a mindfulness activity.
Practising mindfulness can help children learn to focus, manage stress, regulate emotions, and develop a positive outlook.
