PSHE and RSE
Vision
By the end of Key Stage 2, pupils will have developed the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to manage their lives, now and in the future. We aim to provide a PSHE curriculum that helps children to stay healthy and safe while preparing them to make the most of life and work in a positive way. This will be taught through looking at three key areas: health and wellbeing, relationships and living in the wider world. We teach pupils about physical health and mental wellbeing so that they can make good decisions about their own health and wellbeing and how they are interlinked. We teach pupils about the fundamental building block and characteristics of positive relationships so that pupils understand the features of healthy relationships.
Key Drivers
PSHE supports our wider curriculum vision through our key drivers in the following ways:
| Curriculum Drivers | How PSHE supports this driver |

| To know about the World | Children will develop an understanding of the structure of society, diversity and rights. They will study the versatile contributions that people make to society. They will know the impact of technology and the importance of reliable sources. They will develop skills needed to help support the environment. |
| High levels of oracy | Children will develop an understanding of how to express their feelings. They will learn strategies to cope with the feelings that they have. Children will learn how to support other people and their feelings and the impact that positive relationships can have. |
| To encourage critical thinking | Children will have a good understanding of what contributes to a healthy lifestyle which will allow them to make sensible decisions. They will have worked through scenarios in class which will support them in problem solving tasks. Children will also develop an awareness of how society is organised and why rules are in place. |
| To have ambition | Children will identify personal strength skills, achievements and interests and how these contribute to a sense of self-worth Develop an understanding of the skills that will help them in their future careers. Learn about what influences people’s decisions about a job or career and how there are a variety of routes into careers. |
