Personal, social, health, relationships and sex education (PSHRE)
Curriculum intent statement:
The vision of this curriculum is to provide our students to be resilient individuals who are equipped to thrive within an ever-changing 21st century Britain. The curriculum provides specific knowledge and understanding of safe and healthy relationships based on respect. This is to encourage the development of safe and healthy relationships throughout life. All work delivered through this programme is designed to help children from all backgrounds build positive and safe relationships, and for them to thrive.
Curriculum features and principles:
Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education is a school subject through which students develop the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to manage their lives, now and in the future. It helps children and young people to stay healthy and safe, while preparing them to make the most of life and work. When taught well, PSHE education also helps students to achieve their academic potential.
PSHE (RSE) education has become statutory for all schools since 2020 and recently in 2025 the Government launched the new 2025 RSHE statutory Guidance which all schools must adhere to by September 2026. Our Curriculum designed by Cre8tive Resources CIC is fully compliant.
The statuary guidance sets out learning opportunities for key stage 1 to 5 broken down into Relationships Education and Health Education.
Our PSHE curriculum is aligned to the PSHE Associations three core themes:
Core Theme 1: Health and Wellbeing
Core Theme 2: Relationships
Core Theme 3: Living in the wider world
According to the PSHE Association “PSHE education is a school subject through which students develop the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to keep themselves healthy and safe, and prepared for life and work.” We pride ourselves on developing our student’s skills and attributes such as self-esteem, resilience, teamwork and critical thinking, whilst preparing them for the real world.
Research shows that well-delivered PSHE programmes have an impact on both academic and non-academic outcomes for students, particularly the most vulnerable and disadvantaged.
