PSHE

Our PSHE Curriculum aims to:

• Promote children’s emotional wellbeing and resilience

• Develop confidence, independence and self-esteem

• Teach children how to stay safe (including online safety)

• Support understanding of healthy relationships

• Encourage respect, tolerance and British values

• Prepare pupils for life in modern Britain

We believe that PSHE underpins everything we do at Wilcombe School and supports our whole-school ethos.

Through successfully using the PSHE programme, 1decision, our children explore key themes including:

• Personal Safety

• Keeping / Staying Healthy

• Relationships

• Feelings and Emotions

• Computer Safety

• Being Responsible

• Growing and Changing

• A World Without Judgement

Lessons are carefully sequenced from EYFS to Year 6, ensuring children revisit and build on knowledge in an age appropriate way.

Teaching is engaging and interactive, using discussion, video scenarios, reflection and collaborative activities to help children develop understanding and confidence.

RSHE (Relationships, Sex and Health Education)

Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) is a statutory part of the primary curriculum.

At Wilcombe School, RSHE is delivered through our 1decision scheme and covers:

Relationships Education

• Families and people who care for us

• Caring friendships

• Respectful relationships

• Online relationships

• Being safe

Health Education

• Mental wellbeing

• Physical health and fitness

• Healthy eating

Sex Education

In primary school, Sex Education focuses on understanding how the body changes as children grow and prepare for puberty. This is taught sensitively and in line with Department for Education guidance.

Parents and carers have the right to withdraw their child from the non-statutory elements of sex education in Years 5 and 6 only. If you would like further information, please contact the school office.  Prior to your child being taught the non-statutory elements of RSHE, we will seek your consent.

We work in partnership with families to ensure children receive clear, accurate and age appropriate information in a safe environment.
