PSHE & RSE subject overview

At Woolenwick schools, we are reflective, caring and compassionate. We aim to teach children to be good citizens who care for the community and the world we live in. It is hugely important to us that inclusivity is at the heart of everything we do and say. We want to equip our children to be ready for the world ahead and provide them with the tools and strategies for success in life.

Our RSE & PSHE curriculum is broken down into the following areas, ensuring a clear pathway for pupil learning. Progression is broken down into the following key areas:

• Families and relationships – learning how to recognise and form positive relationships with family and friends; identifying how to deal with conflict and bullying.
• Health and wellbeing – learning strategies for maintaining physical and mental health, including hygiene, exercise, healthy eating, sleep and self-awareness.
• Safety and the changing body – learning how to stay safe in a variety of online and offline situations; what to do in an emergency; naming body parts; distinguishing between appropriate and inappropriate physical contact; identifying the physical and emotional changes of puberty.
• Citizenship – recognising the importance of rules; caring for others and the local environment; learning about rights, responsibilities and the importance of participation in community life.
• Economic wellbeing – exploring what money is, ways to earn it and how to take care of it.
