Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education including Relationships (and sex) Education

We follow the Camden agreed scheme for our PSHE and relationships curriculum. The scheme aims to give children the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that they need to effectively navigate the complexities of life in the 21st Century. The curriculum covers key areas which will support children to make informed choices now and in the future around their health, safety, wellbeing, relationships, and financial matters and will support them in becoming confident individuals and active members of society.

Our PSHE curriculum significantly contributes to pupils’ personal development and promotes the four fundamental British values which reflect life in modern Britain: democracy; rule of law; respect and tolerance and individual liberty. Pupils are taught about online safety and cover ideas of personal boundaries, consent and communicating our boundaries with others. This prepares pupils for the challenges and responsibilities they will face in the future. Our curriculum supports the requirements of the Equality Act through direct teaching, for example learning about different families, the negative effect of stereotypes and celebrating differences, in addition to the inclusion of diverse teaching resources throughout the lessons.

Our curriculum covers the Relationships and Health Education statutory guidance (as set out by the Department for Education), including sex education in Year 6.
