PSHE
Pupils will acquire the knowledge, understanding and skills they need to manage their lives now and in the future. Our PSHE curriculum aims to enable students to become healthy, safe, independent, responsible members of society who demonstrate respect and tolerance and who are prepared to face and manage the challenges and opportunities of an ever-changing modern Britain. The PSHE curriculum provides opportunities for students to reflect on and clarify their own values and attitudes and explore complex and sometimes conflicting range of values and attitudes they encounter.
We deliver this content by returning to 3 core themes, deepening knowledge and understanding at each stage:
- Health and wellbeing
- Relationships
- Living in the modern world
PSHE education helps students to know how they can support each other, manage their own behaviour and get help for themselves or their friends when they need it, therefore supporting positive behaviour and attitudes.
RSHE
We define RSHE as the fundamental building blocks to equip pupils with making safe, informed and healthy choices as they progress through adult life. We value personal safety, caring for others and building respectful relationships as well as friendships throughout school and in the wider community. Within RSHE pupils will cover:
Relationships education: building positive and healthy relationships with friends and family members, respect for others, online relationships, positive emotional and mental wellbeing and staying safe.
Sex education: considering aspects such as consent, healthy choices, contraception and STIs.
Health education: teaching the characteristics of good physical health, healthy eating and mental wellbeing. As well as recognising basic first aid and the changing adolescent body.
