RSE and Health Education

At Peel Common Primary school, the intent of our RSE and Health Education curriculum is to deliver a curriculum which is accessible to all and that will maximise the outcomes for every child so that they know more, remember more and understand more. Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHE) combined with the statutory Relationships and Sex Education curriculum enables our children to become healthy, independent and responsible members of society. It aims to help them to understand how they are developing personally and socially and tackles many of the moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up. We provide our children with opportunities for them to learn about rights and responsibilities and appreciate what it means to be a member of a diverse society. Our children are encouraged to develop their sense of self-worth by playing a positive role in contributing to school life and the wider community and to prepare children to be global citizens now and in their future roles.

At Peel Common Primary school, good relationships are fundamental to our ethos. Relationships and Sex education (RSE) is lifelong learning about relationships, emotions, looking after ourselves, different families, sex, sexuality and sexual health. It involves acquiring information, developing skills and forming positive beliefs, values and attitudes. RSE has a key part to play in the personal, moral and spiritual development of young people.

We use the My Happy Minds and Jigsaw programmes in school to structure the delivery of the PSHE and RSE curriculum.
