Personal Social Health Education (PSHE)/Relationships and Sex Education (RSE)

At Upland Primary School, we are committed to providing a purposeful and empowering curriculum that fully prepares learners for the next steps in their school career and opens the doors to the wider world.  We want our children to aspire to achieve and believe that it is essential that they understand the world they live in. Broadening our children’s horizons and giving them the belief that they are capable of achieving great things drives our curriculum. Today’s children and young people are growing up in an increasingly complex world, living their lives seamlessly on, and offline. This presents many positive and exciting opportunities, but also challenges and risks. In this environment, children and young people need to know how to be safe and healthy, and how to manage their academic, personal and social lives in a positive way. Our PSHE/RSE curriculum gives the children the knowledge and understanding they need make informed choices and to be a positive influence in the communities to which they belong.

In addition to the statutory requirements, our PSHE curriculum will also include the strand ‘Living in the Wider World’. This includes learning about economic wellbeing: ambitions, work and career, economic wellbeing: money, media literacy and digital resilience, community and shared responsibility.  

Our PSHE/RSE curriculum consists of three main strands:  

• Relationships
• Physical Health and Mental Wellbeing
• Living in the Wider World
