Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education
PSHE and RSHE Curriculum Overview
At Sulhamstead & Ufton Nervet Primary School, we have recently updated our Scheme of Work for PSHE (Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education) and RSE (Relationships and Sex Education). We use teaching resources by Kapow, and complement these with many quality online resources. This approach, we feel, best suits our learners and as such, will gradually replace those that we have used previously.
Our aims for PSHE remain, with a strong focus on preparing all our young citizens to live in modern Britain. This preparation is taught through the following key strands across the school:
- Family and Relationships
- Health and Wellbeing
- Safety and the Changing Body
- Citizenship
- Economic Well-being
- Identity (Year 6)
The progression of skills and knowledge across the school, can be seen in the attached document below.
Well-being
Alongside our PSHE teaching and learning, we teach well-being to all our children. We aim to enable all children to have their own 'toolkit' of well-being strategies, that they can use independently as and when needed to improve and maintain good mental health. Children will learn the benefits of mindfulness through a range of activities taught in school. Children will be encouraged to consider whether these activities help them to relax, reduce anxieties or calm their mind and body. Simple activities such as guided meditation, running, reading for enjoyment, doodling, colouring, finger knitting and gardening to name but a few, will be taught for their potential well-being benefits.
