Personal, Social, Health and Economic education (PSHE)

Welcome to KSS Personal Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) Education!

PSHE - our intent

At Kirkstall St Stephen's C of E Primary School, we intend for all children in our school to become independent, confident, healthy individuals, equipped with essential skills for life and a positive sense of identity. Through PSHE lessons, children learn how to: maintain good physical, mental and emotional health; build and maintain healthy relationships; keep safe and manage risk; and understand the dangers of drugs, alcohol and tobacco.

The health and mental well-being of our children is embedded into all that we do.

Please see the attached overview document that explains the curriculum and the knowledge, skills and vocabulary progression map from Reception to Year 6. 

We have also begun creating Knowledge Organisers (KO) for each half-term and these have been added below. These are child-friendly documents that demonstrate how we will implement the new curriculum, including the powerful knowledge that we wish children to learn after each topic. The impact of our curriculum will be based on how well the children retain this knowledge.

PSHE (personal, social, health and economic) education is an ‘important and necessary part of all pupils' education.’ (Department for Education)

At Kirkstall St Stephen's C of E Primary School we aim to provide a PSHE education which ‘gives pupils the knowledge, skills, and attributes they need to keep themselves healthy and safe and to prepare them for life and work in modern Britain.’ (PSHE Association)

From September 2026 we will be using the 'Jigsaw' scheme to teach PSHE and RSHE (Relationships, Sex and Health Education).

Please see the new draft PSHE policy that includes RSHE. We will be asking parents to send in any comments to contactus@kirkstallss.net as part of a consultation on this policy by Friday 10th July 2026.
