PSHE and RSE

Overview

Intent, Implementation and Impact

Intent

At Summerfield Primary School, we believe that PSHE in an integral part of the curriculum as the skills learnt will equip our children for their futures and to become active members of society and the wider world. Based on the National Curriculum and our school vision and values, we aim to provide a positive and motivating environment which will enable each child to grow in understanding so as to reach their full potential. Through their understanding of PSHE, children will be able to succeed in many different areas of the curriculum and throughout life as the learned skills are transferrable.

Our curriculum demonstrates appropriately aged content, skills and knowledge which fulfil the duties of the RSE curriculum. All of this has been undertaken in consultation with parents and sensitivity to our school community.

We believe that PSHE education should be fully inclusive to every child. Our aims are to provide a broad, balanced and differentiated curriculum giving our children opportunities to learn about rights and responsibilities and to appreciate what it means to be a member of a diverse society. Furthermore, we aim to inspire in pupils a curiosity and fascination about the world. We aim to enable our children to become healthy, independent and responsible members of society. Through PSHE, we aim to help them to understand how they are developing personally and socially, and will tackle many of the moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up in order to support this. We strive to encourage our children to develop their sense of self-worth by playing a positive role in contributing to school life.
