PSHE, Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) and Wellbeing
In this section you will find information relating to the curriculum.
These documents provide a curriculum framework for school and curriculum leaders for the delivery PSHE & Wellbeing education, an education that is relevant and necessary for today’s learners in the 21st century.
PSHE including RSHE, is a planned programme of learning through which children and young people acquire the knowledge, understanding, skills they need to manage their lives. As part of a whole school approach, PSHE develops the qualities and attributes pupils need to thrive as individuals, family members and members of society.
PSHE contributes to them being safe and to personal development by helping children and young people to build their personal identities, confidence and self-esteem, make career choices and understand what influences their decisions including financial ones. Developing self-understanding, empathy and the ability to work with others will help young people to enjoy healthy and productive relationships in all aspects of their lives.
The framework supports schools in fulfilling the statutory obligations of supporting pupil wellbeing and is fully aligned to the Ofsted framework as well as to national curriculum themes – personal development, health & safety, emotional wellbing and mental health, anti-bullying, behaviour & welfare, Citizenship, British values and Social, Moral, Spiritual, Cultural education (SMSC including inclusion & equalities). The curriculum frameworks are based on the PSHE Association’s Programmes of Study and their implementation contribute to your school achieving the Healthy Schools London award.
The curriculum frameworks aim to develop skills and attributes such as resilience, self-esteem, risk-management, teamworking and critical thinking in the context of learning grouped into three core themes: health and wellbeing, relationships and living in the wider world (including economic wellbeing and aspects of careers education).
PSHE education is a school subject through which pupils develop the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to keep themselves healthy and safe, and prepare for life and work in modern Britain. Evidence shows that well-delivered PSHE programmes have an impact on both academic and non-academic outcomes for pupils, particularly the most vulnerable and disadvantaged (PSHE Association).
