PSHE at Longsands

Our PSHE and RSE aims to give children the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that they need to effectively navigate the complexities of life in the 21st Century. The curriculum covers key areas which will support children to make informed choices now and in the future around their health, safety, wellbeing, relationships, and financial matters and supports them in becoming confident individuals and active members of society.

The RSE/PSHE scheme of work covers the Relationships and Health Education statutory guidance (as set out by the Department for Education), including the non-statutory sex education. The scheme covers wider PSHE learning, in line with the requirement of the National Curriculum (2014) that schools ‘should make provision for personal, social, health and
economic education (PSHE).’ Our RSe and PSHE curriculum contributes to pupils' personal development and promotes the four fundamental British values which reflect life in modern Britain: democracy; rule of law; respect and tolerance and individual liberty.

We revisit key themes each year in order to develop pupils' knowledge and understanding with the core aims of;

• Valuing different family structures
• Creating and maintaining positive friendships
• Developing safe and respectful relationships
• Understanding the changes that take place during puberty
• Promoting good health and carrying out first aid
• Learning to make independent choices and not be influenced by others
• Operating safely in a digital world

Our RSE/ PSHE curriculum supports us in our ethos of promoting equality and understanding of the protected characteristics.
