PSHE and RSE

PSHE, Relationships and Sex Education Policy
PSHE and Relationships education is an essential part of our pupil’s education as it enables them to develop the knowledge, skills and understanding they will need to become informed, healthy, active, independent and responsible citizens. We encourage pupils to take part in a wide range of activities and experiences across and beyond the curriculum, contributing fully to the life of our school and community. Through curricular and extra-curricular activities our children learn to recognise their own worth, work well with others and become increasingly responsible for their own learning. The children, as part of the process of growing up, will be given the opportunity to reflect on their experiences and understand how they are developing personally and socially. Spiritual, moral, social and cultural issues are seen to be an important part of this process.
The current version of the above named policy is below. We would welcome any comments which can be emailed to the school office. School primarily uses the One Life scheme of work to deliver our PSHE, an overview of which is contained in the policy. Other resources are referred to within our policy guidance document.
Parents may find the following two DfE documents useful.
Relationships education, relationships and sex education (RSE) and health education: FAQs
