PSHE
PSHE (Personal, Social, Health Education) underpins our whole school approach to learning, helping to nurture mature and resilient learners able to face the multiple challenges of modern life, including the virtual world. To ensure our pupils are taught consistently to a high standard, we use Kapow’s PSHE and RSE Schemes of Work
Intent
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.
Kapow Primary’s RSE/PSHE scheme of work covers the Relationships and Health Education statutory guidance (as set out by the Department for Education), including the non-statutory sex education.
Our lessons promote the four fundamental British values, which reflect life in modern Britain: democracy; rule of law; respect and tolerance and individual liberty
Implementation
The Kapow Primary scheme is a whole school approach that consists of five areas of learning:
- Families and relationships
- Health and wellbeing
- Safety and the changing body
- Citizenship
- Economic wellbeing
Each area is revisited every year to allow children to build on prior learning. The lessons also provide a progressive programme.
There are meaningful opportunities for cross-curricular learning, in particular with Computing for online safety and Science for growing, nutrition, teeth, diet and lifestyle. The scheme provides consistent messages throughout the age ranges including how and where to access help.
