Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education
As a school, we use Kapow Primary for our Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) curriculum. It also covers the Relationship and Sex Education (RSE) curriculum in age-appropriate ways.
​
The scheme aims to give children the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that they need to effectively navigate the complexities of life in the 21st Century. The curriculum covers key areas which will support children to make informed choices now and in the future around their health, safety, wellbeing, relationships, and financial matters and will support them in becoming confident individuals and active members of society.
​
Children’s learning through this scheme significantly contributes to their personal development as set and promotes the four fundamental British values which reflect life in modern Britain: democracy; rule of law; respect and tolerance and individual liberty.

Relationships, Sex Education and Health Education (RSHE)
​
PSHE, Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) is a lifelong learning process of acquiring information, developing skills and forming positive beliefs and attitudes including about sex, sexuality, relationships and feelings.
Effective PHSE and RSE can make a significant contribution to the development of the personal skills needed by pupils if they are to establish and maintain relationships. It also enables young people to make responsible and informed decisions about their health and well-being.
​
From September 2026, we will follow updated statutory guidance for Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE), reflecting the changing needs of children growing up in an increasingly complex and digital world. The revised curriculum places greater emphasis on online safety, personal boundaries, respectful relationships, emotional wellbeing, and the use of correct vocabulary to help children understand and discuss the human body in an age-appropriate way.
​
At our school, RSHE is taught through the Kapow Primary scheme of work, which provides a progressive, inclusive and engaging curriculum that meets statutory requirements while supporting the personal development of every child. All lessons and resources are carefully selected to be age-appropriate, ensuring that learning is delivered at a level suitable for children's stage of development. Through carefully sequenced lessons, pupils develop the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to build positive relationships, stay safe, maintain good physical and mental health, and become respectful, responsible members of society. We work closely with parents and carers to ensure that RSHE remains a supportive and positive part of our curriculum, helping children to navigate the opportunities and challenges of modern life with confidence, resilience and respect for others.
