PSHE/RSE
(Personal, social, health education and relationships and sex education)
At Sinningtom Community Primary School, we value PSHE. A high-quality PHSE education provides the foundations for understanding the world through the specific disciplines of Relationships, Living in the wider World and Health and Wellbeing, We actively promote the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils at our school. This involves collective worship, establishing a strong school ethos supported by effective relationships throughout the school, and providing relevant activities beyond the classroom. We promote the fundamental British values and our children understand that while different people may hold different views about what is ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, all people living in England are subject to its law. Our pupils are encouraged to regard people of all faiths, races and cultures with respect and tolerance. We challenge opinions or behaviours in school that are contrary to fundamental British values.
Intent
- To prepare our children for life in modern Britain and the wider-world.
- For children to develop and maintain a variety of healthy relationships, within a range of social/cultural contexts
- To identify and effectively manage different influences on health and well-being
- Promote British Values across all aspects of school life
- Our curriculum is built around three key areas: Health and Wellbeing, Relationships, and Living in the Wider World
Implementation:
- EYFS: PSHE and RSE are delivered through the PSED curriculum, supported by play-based learning and adult guidance.
-
Years 1–6: Weekly PSHE lessons build on previous learning, with age-appropriate content mapped through to Year 6.
-
Relationships and well-being are also reinforced through our core values, assemblies, and wider curriculum.
-
RSE content includes: families, friendships, respectful and online relationships, and staying safe.
-
Key aspects of health are also covered in science and revisited in PSHE.
Children at Sinnington use the skills and values learnt through our PSHE curriculum in real life contexts. For example, integrating with children from our other Trust schools and beyond, and promoting our Values in our local community and the wider-world through our active participation in fundraising and community events.
