PSHE
Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) is woven into the fabric of our curriculum and school life. Individual lessons are taught weekly and themes are reinforced throughout each term in whole school assemblies, celebrations and class circle time.
In lessons, key vocabulary and real life examples are used to encourage discussion and problem solving. Teachers model the skills of emotional literacy and demonstrate principled, open-minded views. Effective questioning by teachers continually supports the development of opinions and self-esteem, in a safe and supportive environment.
By the end of each key stage, students are active learners who express themselves and accept difference in their community and the wider world. Celebration of difference as well as personal achievements, promotes a culture of equality in our school.
Children have improved emotional awareness, tolerance and can identify what makes a healthy relationship.
Promoting citizenship through PSHE enables children to make a positive contribution by developing the knowledge and experience needed to claim their rights and understand their responsibilities. It prepares them for the challenges and opportunities of adult and working life.
Curriculum overview
RSHE
Thank you to all those that attended to our RSHE coffee morning on 3rd December. Please find below some FAQ with responses.
Click on the link to view RSHE FAQs to initial parent survey regarding RSHE Curriculum.
In July 2019, The Department for Education released a document changing the previous Sex and Relationship (SRE) guidance to the new Relationships, Sex and Health guidance (RSHE).
Relationships, Sex and Health Education is lifelong learning about physical, sexual, moral and emotional development. It is about the understanding of the importance of stable and loving relationships, respect, love and care for family life. It involves acquiring information, developing skills and forming positive beliefs, values and attitudes.
By law, primary schools are required to teach relationships and health education, alongside National Curriculum Science and within the context of Safeguarding.
