RSE

RSE policy 2024-2027

Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) is lifelong learning about healthy, respectful and positive relationships. It involves acquiring age-appropriate information and knowledge, developing skills and forming positive beliefs, values and attitudes. It begins informally in the home long before any formal education takes place at Clarborough Primary School. Relationships Education has a key role to play in the personal, social, moral and spiritual development of children.

The Relationships Education, RSE and Health Education (England) Regulations have made Relationships Education compulsory in all primary schools since 2020.

At Clarborough Primary School, we use Kapow to support the teaching of PSHE.

There are five key areas of learning that are revisited and built on each year. These are:

Families and relationships – learning how to recognise and form positive relationships with family and friends; identifying how to deal with conflict and bullying.
Health and wellbeing – learning strategies for maintaining physical and mental health, including hygiene, exercise, healthy eating, sleep and self-awareness.
Safety and the changing body – learning how to stay safe in a variety of online and offline situations; what to do in an emergency; naming parts of the body; distinguishing between appropriate and inappropriate physical contact; identifying the physical and emotional changes of puberty.
Citizenship – recognising the importance of rules; caring for others and the local environment; learning about rights, responsibilities and the importance of participation in community life.
Economic wellbeing – exploring what money is, ways to earn it and how to take care of it.

These themes lay the foundations of learning to encourage our pupils to be inclusive and respectful, active, healthy and confident citizens.
