PSHE/RSE

Subject Leader - Miss Palacio

At St. Mary’s and St. Benedict’s Primary School, our high-quality PSHE/RSE scheme aims to fulfil the requirements of the DFE Statutory guidance in a sensitive, inclusive and challenging way. We follow the guidance objectives for PSHE/RSE and have adapted the curriculum cycle to suit our needs as a school. We have high expectations for our children and we ensure tasks are appropriately differentiated or adapted to meet the individual needs of our children.

We use a scheme of work produced by the NHS to support children's mental health and well-being called 'My Happy Mind'. It is about getting to know our brains, feelings and dealing with emotions. The children cover different techniques for breathing, meditating and getting to grips with what every emotion feels like and means. We also closely with CORAM Life Education who regularly come in to deliver age-appropriate RSE sessions to our children.

PSHE/RSE is recorded in different ways to ensure a range of evidence is gathered from sessions. Photographs and videos are also used as evidence where appropriate, alongside teachers’ annotations of plans to ensure children’s development is consistent and children are picked up on that are struggling.
