The PSHE curriculum offer follows the national curriculum in KS1 and KS2 and the EYFS Statutory Framework and Development Matters in the early years. The PSHE curriculum is ambitious and designed to give all learners, particularly the most disadvantaged and those with special educational needs, the knowledge and cultural capital they need to succeed in life. Where required, pedagogy is adapted so that all pupils, including disadvantaged pupils and those with SEND are on the same knowledge journey towards the same endpoints. We have made some enhancements, such as visits from the RNLI, visits from health professionals and Woodland Learning.

We have developed our own PSHE curriculum, based on the PSHE Association curriculum building blocks, taking into account the particular needs of our children.  This ensures that all pupils recieve key messages relative to their age.  It builds in complexity so that pupils can build on their knowledge and skills.  Knowledge and skills are revisited and refreshed to ensure they become embedded.  Vocabulary is also taught explicitly in every lesson.  Review and retrieval is a key part of every lesson where quick quizzes are used to support this.

The pupils gain knowledge and skills when learning about relationships, Healthy Living and Living in the Wider World. An essential part of the PSHE programme is Relationships Education and this is compulsory for all primary school children.  As part of the Year 5 and Year 6 curriculum, we also deliver sessions on sex education.  The lessons are at an appropriate level for the age range and will use resources that will support the learning.  We will contact you prior to these sessions and invite you to look at the resources if you so wish.  If you wish to view the resources that will be used, please click on the link below.

The PSHE curriculum ensures that key messages relating to British Values, SMSC (spiritual, moral, social and cultural development), diversity, wellbeing and safeguarding are explicitly developed.  The messages are aimed at developing the knowledge necessary for pupils to make safe choices and informed decisions that will help prepare them for later life.
