Relationships, Sex, Health and Citizenship Education
PSHE education is a school curriculum subject in England that helps children and young people stay healthy, safe and prepared for life – and work – in modern Britain. When taught well, PSHE education also helps pupils to achieve their academic potential.
New DFE guidance for Relationships Education, Sex Education and Health Education for September 2020
Please follow the link to the new Department for Education statutory guidance relating to Relationships Education, Sex Education and Health Education. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/relationships-education-relationships-and-sex-education-rse-and-health-education
The guidance was made statutory from September 2020.
What does PSHE stand for?
PSHE stands for personal, social, health and economic. That’s why we tend to say ‘PSHE education’ a lot instead of always abbreviating it to ‘PSHE’. The ‘E’ in PSHE covers economic wellbeing and careers – vital parts of the subject that mustn’t be ignored.
Do schools have to teach it?
Most of PSHE education became statutory in September 2020 under the Children and Social Work Act.
Our Curriculum
Our curriculum is mapped out across the school via a curriculum using Focus Education and PSHE Association.
We also have 3 focus whole school termly PSHE weeks (Keeping Ourselves Safe, Inclusivity and Diversity and Hopes and Dreams). Weekly assemblies are linked to British Values, Local and National events and current affairs aswell as adaptive teaching and reflection opportunities identified by teachers when they arise.
