Pol Ed
At Brambles Primary Academy, we promote personal wellbeing and development through a comprehensive Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education programme. PSHE education is the curriculum subject that gives children the knowledge, understanding, attitudes and practical skills to live a safe, healthy, productive life, and meet their full potential. We use Pol Ed to support our teaching of PSHE.
Pol-Ed is a West Yorkshire Police education programme, written by teachers for teachers in schools across West Yorkshire. Its purpose is to keep children safe by developing their understanding of risks, consequences and the law, and to develop their resilience and ability to help and support each other
All the resources from Pol Ed focus on the West Yorkshire Police priorities and Ofsted lines of enquiry and are linked to the DfE statutory guidance and PSHE Association Programme of Study to ensure we are best meeting the needs of our young people. Lessons are taught in an age-appropriate way with sensitivity to each area. Further information can be found on their parent portal website. https://www.pol-ed.co.uk/audiences/parents/homes
