PSHE and Relationships and Health Education

Implementation

The PSHE curriculum is delivered through the HeartSmart programme, ensuring clear progression in knowledge and skills across all year groups. Lessons are carefully sequenced and provide regular opportunities for discussion, reflection, and application. Teaching promotes an inclusive environment where pupils feel safe to express their views and ask questions.

RSE is taught in Years 5 and 6 using the HH Kids programme, ensuring age-appropriate, accurate, and consistent coverage of statutory content. Staff deliver lessons with sensitivity and clarity, using high-quality resources to support understanding. Key themes such as relationships, mental health, and personal safety are revisited to support long-term learning.

Impact

Pupils demonstrate a secure understanding of how to stay safe, healthy, and manage their wellbeing. They can form positive relationships and show respect for others. Pupils are able to apply their knowledge to real-life situations and make informed choices. As a result, they are well prepared for the next stage of their education and life in modern Britain.

PSHE Inclusion Statement

At our school, we are committed to creating an inclusive environment where every child feels valued, respected, and able to achieve their full potential. We recognise that all pupils are unique, with different strengths, needs, backgrounds and learning styles. We actively promote equality of opportunity and aim to remove barriers to learning so that all children can participate fully in school life.

We celebrate diversity and foster a culture of kindness, understanding, and mutual respect. All staff work collaboratively to support pupils’ academic, social, and emotional development, ensuring that every child feels safe, supported and included.

PSHE Adaptation Statement

We understand that some pupils may require additional support or adjustments to access the PSHE curriculum effectively. Teaching is therefore adapted to meet the individual needs of all learners through a range of strategies, including adapted tasks, flexible teaching approaches, targeted interventions, and the use of appropriate resources or assistive technologies. We also work closely with parents, carers, and external professionals to ensure that adaptations are meaningful, inclusive, and responsive to each child’s needs.  Further details of this can be found within the PSHE policy.
