Subject Leadership

My name is Mr Thomas O'Beirne, and I’m proud to serve as the PSHE Subject Leader at Frenchwood Community Primary School. Having been part of the school community for over five years, I’ve had the privilege of guiding our PSHE provision through the implementation of the Government’s statutory guidance, ensuring our curriculum meets the needs of all our pupils.

At Frenchwood, we’ve developed an engaging and inclusive PSHE curriculum that helps children explore who they are—both as individuals and as members of our school and wider community. Our approach encourages pupils to understand themselves, build positive relationships, and develop the skills needed to navigate the world with confidence and empathy.

I’m especially passionate about mindfulness and the way it empowers children to reflect on their thoughts, feelings, and actions. I love how, at Frenchwood, we nurture learners who are not only thoughtful and self-aware but also respectful and caring towards others.

I look forward to continuing this journey with our pupils, helping them grow into resilient, compassionate, and confident individuals.
