Personal, Social & Health Education (PSHE)
Our PSHE and RSHE (Relationships, Sex and Health Education) curriculum supports every pupil to flourish and prepares them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of life in a rapidly changing world. Through a carefully sequenced programme based on the PSHE Association scheme, pupils progressively develop the knowledge, vocabulary, skills and attributes they need to make informed and ethical decisions about their health, wellbeing, relationships and lives.
Our curriculum enables pupils to become healthy, confident, independent and responsible members of the school community and wider society. It helps them develop positive characteristics including resilience, self-worth, self-respect, honesty, kindness, empathy, courage and trustworthiness, reflecting our Christian vision and PRECIOUS values.
Pupils learn how to build and sustain positive relationships, respect difference, establish and communicate healthy boundaries, manage emotions and conflict, and recognise when a situation or relationship may be unsafe or harmful. They are taught how to protect themselves and others, online and offline, and how to report concerns and keep seeking help until they are heard. Teaching is inclusive, age and stage appropriate, accessible to pupils with SEND and sensitive to pupils’ different experiences, families, backgrounds and beliefs.
We provide opportunities for pupils to explore attitudes, values and beliefs in a safe and supportive environment and to develop the language and strategies needed to respond to situations they may encounter. The curriculum is organised through the three interconnected themes of Health and Wellbeing, Relationships and Living in the Wider World.
