PSHE (including RSE)

INTENT: We believe that a strong PSHE education is important to help our pupils gain the knowledge and attributes to fulfil their potential and become happy, successful and well-rounded members of society. We use PSHE as a way to support our children’s development, to enable them to understand and respect who they are and maintain their individuality and to empower them with a voice. It is our responsibility to deliver a high-quality and age-appropriate RSE curriculum due to the increasingly complex world that our children are growing up in, both on and offline. Our curriculum has a strong emphasis on emotional literacy, self-regulation, building resilience and nurturing mental and physical health to ensure our children know how to be safe and healthy, and how to manage their academic, personal and social lives in a positive way.

"It’s lovely to be a part of a school who not only helps the children grow academically, but also cares so much about their social, emotional development and mental health I feel very happy and supported through both my children’s school experience so far." Parent comment 2022

We acknowledge that PSHE and RSE are intertwined and for that reason our RSE curriculum is embedded in our PSHE curriculum so that the key building blocks of children’s learning and understanding is consistent and progressive. Our PSHE (including RSE) curriculum at Langley First School links directly to our school values and ethos.

Our PSHE (including RSE) curriculum is a progressive and spiral scheme of learning. In planning the lessons, we ensure that learning from previous years is revisited and extended, adding new concepts, knowledge and skills, year on year as appropriate. We use a scheme of learning called Jigsaw as the basis for our curriculum and the content is then adjusted to reflect the composition of each individual class. We also welcome visitors into school and we use the Newcastle United Foundation to deliver additional lessons to enhance our PSHE (including RSE) curriculum as well as other external visitors. We use a variety of resources including songs, books, short animations, cartoons etc to deliver subject content in a relevant and engaging way.

IMPLEMENTATION: Our curriculum has designed by taking into consideration the context of the school and the opinions of staff, parents and governors. It is based on a spiral, progressive and fully planned scheme of work, personalised to suit the needs of the children in our care. We regularly reflect and adapt our curriculum to suit the needs of our children at that moment in time. We ensure the knowledge we teach is meaningful so that our children remember what they have learnt. Any gaps in their learning are addressed immediately and inform adjustments in our planning. We work with parents and send out information / Q&A booklets to help them support their children at home with PSHE (including RSE) skills.

IMPACT: We regularly check our curriculum is delivering the intent and that the content of our curriculum is remembered through informal ongoing assessments. We assess specific skills termly using a formal tracking system and GAP analysis is undertaken.

They are also taught that nobody has the right to hurt these parts of the body. Change is discussed as a natural and normal part of getting older which can bring about happy and sad feelings.
