PSHE & RSE
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”
At Boundary Primary School PSHE is at the heart of everything we do! We deliver a personalised curriculum, which is accessible to all, maximising the outcomes for every child in our care. As a result of this all children at our school become happy, healthy, resilient, tolerant, and respectful independent citizens who understand how they are developing personally and socially. We provide children with the confidence to tackle many moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up. We give all children the opportunity for them to learn about rights and responsibilities and appreciate what it means to be a member of a diverse society.
Intent, Implementation and Impact in Full
Our PSHE curriculum is organised under three core themes; Health and Wellbeing, Relationships and Living in the Wider World.
Health and Wellbeing
This core theme focuses on:
- what is meant by a healthy lifestyle
- how to maintain physical, mental and emotional health and wellbeing
- how to manage risks to physical and emotional health and wellbeing
- ways of keeping physically and emotionally safe
- about managing change, including puberty, transition and loss
- how to make informed choices about health and wellbeing and to recognise sources of help with this
- how to respond in an emergency
- to identify different influences on health and wellbeing
Relationships
This core theme focuses on:
- how to develop and maintain a variety of healthy relationships, within a range of social/cultural contexts
- how to recognise and manage emotions within a range of relationships
- how to recognise risky or negative relationships including all forms of bullying and abuse
- how to respond to risky or negative relationships and ask for help
- how to respect equality and diversity in relationships
Living in the Wider World
This core theme focuses on:
- about respect for self and others and the importance of responsible behaviours and actions
- about rights and responsibilities as members of families, other groups and ultimately as citizens
- about different groups and communities
- to respect diversity and equality and how to be a productive member of a diverse community
