PSHE
We have designed a history and geography-rich curriculum that connects learning by building an understanding of ideas, concepts, chronology and themes through the framework of ‘here, there, then, now, and next’. These thinking threads create opportunities to learn from the past to equip children for an ever-changing and exciting future.
As citizens, we are able to make informed choices here and now, reflecting on lessons from then and there, and preparing for personal growth and responsible citizenship next, supporting well-being and relationships.
Our curriculum is structured and supported through the use of a published scheme – Kapow PSHE. Kapow PSHE develops fully-rounded children who are healthy, sociable and emotionally literate.
Through the Kapow PSHE and RSE scheme, pupils are prepared for life in modern Britain. It helps pupils develop and apply skills and attitudes to allow them to become full and active citizens in our wider global community, developing their skills and knowledge in six key areas:
- Families and relationships (some RSE areas)
- Health and wellbeing
- Safety and the changing body (some RSE areas)
- Citizenship
- Economic wellbeing
- Identity (Year 6 only)
These areas cover key concepts and skills to help fulfil the statutory responsibility to support pupils’ SMSC (moral, social and cultural) education. Families cannot legally withdraw their child from any aspect of the statutory relationships education or health education.
The family does have the right to withdraw their child from sex education unless what is being taught is part of the science national curriculum.
