RSE and PSHE

Context behind curriculum delivery

PSHE 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 both now, and in the future, around their health, safety, wellbeing, relationships, and financial matters. It will also support them in becoming confident individuals and active members of society.
