Our PSHCE Curriculum

PSHCE includes RSE and Health Education as specified in the DfE Statutory Requirements.

Intent

At Chambersbury the purpose and aims of PSHCE education are to:

Teach children:

• the knowledge and life skills to stay safe and develop healthy and supportive relationships, particularly dealing with the challenges of growing up in an online world’ (DFE, 2017).
• accurate information about the body, reproduction, sex, and sexual health. It also gives children and young people essential skills for building positive, enjoyable, respectful and non-exploitative relationships and staying safe both on and offline (PSHCE Association - Sex and Relationships for the 21^st Century, 2014).
• respect for themselves and each other, building on an understanding of the different relationships with family and friends and to move confidently from early childhood into adolescence.

Empower children: 

• to make informed decisions about their wellbeing, health and relationships and to build their self-efficacy.
• To keep themselves safe

Support children: 

• to put knowledge into practice as they develop the capacity to make sound decisions when facing risks, challenges and complex contexts (DfE Relationships Education Guidance, 2019).
• through their early physical, emotional and moral development

Implementation

PSHCE, RSE and Health Education are delivered using the following tools:

• Dorothy Dot Com Scheme of Work
• National Curriculum Requirements for RSE
• Zones of Regulation
• Assembly time
• Talk time
• Evidence Me in EYFS to share PSD with parents
• Colour Monsters in EYFS
• British Red Cross First Aid Resources
• NSPCC resources particularly the Pant Zone

Every child has a PSHCE folder for keeping learning.

Folders are not ‘marked’ but must be monitored by teacher for safeguarding.

Every class has a Zones of Regulation/ Colour Monster display.

Individual differences and SEND are accommodated in provision and lesson planning.
