PSHE (Personal, Social and Health Education)

Personal, Social and Health (PSHE) Education is a vital part of our curriculum, helping children develop the knowledge, skills, and values they need to lead confident, healthy, and responsible lives.

We follow the Kapow Primary PSHE scheme, which provides a rich, carefully structured programme that supports children’s personal development from Early Years through to Year 6.

The Kapow curriculum covers key areas such as relationships, health and wellbeing, and living in the wider world, all taught through engaging, age-appropriate lessons. Our approach encourages discussion, reflection, and empathy, empowering pupils to make positive choices, build resilience, and understand their place in an ever-changing world.

Relationships and Sex (RSE) education forms part of our PSHE curriculum and is taught during the Summer Term.  The programme that we follow has been adapted from the PSHE Association's Programme of Study and it was developed in consultation with teachers, governors and parents.  It is taught in an age appropriate way that reflects the Christian ethos of our school and the needs of the children.  Our RSE policy can be accessed via our Policies Page.

We are also proud to be part of the No Outsiders initiative, which promotes equality, diversity and inclusion through a positive and age-appropriate approach. At our school, we believe that every child and family should feel welcome, valued, and celebrated for who they are. As part of this commitment, we teach a No Outsiders lesson in each class once each term, using carefully chosen stories and discussions to help children understand and respect differences, develop empathy and build a strong sense of belonging. Through these lessons, we prepare our children to live confidently and kindly in a diverse world.
