Our PSHE (and RSHE) Curriculum Vision
Our children are growing up in an increasingly complex world and living their lives seamlessly on and offline. This presents many positive and exciting opportunities, but also challenges and risks too.
In this environment, children and young people need to know how to be safe and healthy, and how to manage their academic personal and social lives in a positive way.
Our PSHE and RSHE curriculum sets the foundations for our children’s future relationships; ensuring they know how to be healthy and safe. The well-being of our children is at the heart of everything we do. Regular circle times ensure we can discuss openly our thoughts and feelings. Themed events, such as ‘Healthy Eating’ and ‘Well-Being’ days promote further our key messages about being safe and healthy.
Our Aims
- We want our teaching to put into place the key building blocks of healthy, respectful relationships focusing on family and friendships, in all contexts, including online.
- We will teach about what is legal within our country in terms of relationships.
- Our teachers will present views on different types of relationships. We are presenting views, not promoting them.
- We will give our children the information they need to make good decisions about their own health and well-being.
- Our PSHE and RSE teaching aims to develop successful learners who enjoy learning and are confident individuals who are able to live safe, healthy and fulfilling lives.
PSHE/RSE will be delivered in weekly timetabled lessons in addition to assemblies which also promote our values and the well-being of our pupils.
We follow the programme of study developed by the PSHE Association, of which we are a member.
The Programme of study sets out the learning opportunities for each key stage. It is mapped directly to the content grids from the Statutory Guidance for Relationships and Health Education. It allows us to cover the core themes of: Health and Well-being, Relationships and Living in the Wider World.
