Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education

Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education

Home > Learning  > The Coleridge Curriculum > Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education

Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) and Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) provide vital tools to help your child navigate the adult world.

At Coleridge Primary School, we believe that RSE & PSHE helps to give pupils the knowledge, skills and understanding they need to lead confident, healthy, independent lives, in order to become informed, active and responsible citizens.

Under the new guidance issued by the DfE in September 2020, Relationships  and Health Education at primary school became compulsory. We believe that, to be effective, RSE should always be taught within a broader PSHE education programme. RSE enhances, and is enhanced by, learning related to other topics, including anti-bullying; keeping safe on and off line; keeping physically and mentally healthy; learning about drugs, alcohol and tobacco; and the development of skills and attributes, such as communication skills, managing peer pressure, risk management, resilience and decision making.

Our RSE & PHSE curriculum is based on the Kapow Scheme and is categorised into five key areas, which we return to in each year group. Each time a key area is revisited, it is covered with greater depth and increasing maturity. These areas are:

  • Family and relationships. The children learn how to: form respectful relationships with others, deal with conflict and bullying, and the importance of challenging stereotypes.
  • Health and wellbeing. The children learn strategies for looking after their mental and physical health, including: healthy eating, relaxation techniques, sun safety and the benefits of sleep.
  • Safety and the changing body. The children learn: how to administer first aid in a variety of situations and about safety around medicines, online and road safety and the changes which occur during puberty,
  • Citizenship. The children learn about: human rights and the rights of the child, democracy, diversity and community and protecting the environment.
  • Economic wellbeing. The children learn how to make decisions when it comes to spending, budgeting and saving money and exploring different career choices

We also have an additional key area for Year 6:

  • Identity. The children discuss what makes us who we are whilst learning about body image.
