PSHE & RSE

At St Paul’s, we are unified in our belief that the teaching of PSHE & RSE gives children the knowledge, skills, and experiences they need to have a successful future. We believe that all children are entitled to high-quality learning and teaching, which equips them with the skills, knowledge, and understanding they need today and prepares them well for the next step in their educational journey.

Our PSHE / RSE curriculum, whilst being modelled on statutory requirements for PSHE/RSE, is supported by the children and their PSHE/RSE needs. Our curriculum is a thematic-based, spiral curriculum that has been designed to give children the opportunity to build upon prior learning, embed, and apply skills, as they move throughout our school.

Our PSHE curriculum intends to deliver a curriculum that is accessible to all and that will maximize the outcomes for every child so that they know more, remember more, and understand more. As a result of this, they will become healthy, independent, and responsible members of a society who understand how they are developing personally and socially and give them the confidence to tackle many of the moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up.

We provide our children with opportunities for them to learn about rights and responsibilities and appreciate what it means to be a member of a diverse society. Our children are encouraged to develop their sense of self-worth by playing a positive role in contributing to school life and the wider community.
