PSHE / RSE

Intent:

At Kingsmoor Lower School, we believe that our carefully planned curriculum, along with our values-based education, dedication to British Values and pastoral care, will equip all children with the knowledge and skills to become well-educated and rounded young adults, ready to take their place in the world. We aim to provide children with a nurturing environment and opportunities to reach their full potential, spiritually, emotionally, intellectually, morally, physically and socially.

Implementation:

PSHE and RHE is taught in weekly sessions. We follow the ‘Jigsaw’ scheme of work that is logically sequenced so that themes are built upon and revisited, allowing children to grow in confidence. RHE is taught by the class teacher through engaging and exciting activities, which allow for open discussion and debate. These activities are planned in an age-appropriate way and take into consideration the children’s understanding and previous knowledge. Around the school, we promote good behaviour and positive character traits, including respect, honesty, courage and kindness. To do this, we have clear and high expectations on behaviour. This promotes a sense of belonging, identity and pride along with good mental wellbeing.

Impact:

Following the implementation of the broad and age-appropriate curriculum, children will be respectful, independent, responsible and confident members of society within our community and the wider world. Children’s understanding of our curriculum will be assessed through creative ways such as quizzes and self-expression to show what they have learnt throughout each unit. The children will be equipped with the skills needed to maintain positive and healthy lifestyles, relationships and contributions to society. These can be seen when meeting the children at our school as the children show their values, manners and understand how to interact safely with others. As they become more confident throughout each RHE theme, children will understand their personal role in society.
