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)

We follow the 'You me and PSHE' Islington programme. PSHE is taught as a discrete subject once a week by the class teachers. Relationship and Sex Education is also covered as part of this PSHE programme across school from Year 2 to Year 6 in line with government requirements.

A copy of the current Relationship and Sex Education Policy is attached. 

As a school, we also teach Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning (SEAL) to enhance our curriculum provision and to ensure our pupils are given the best opportunity to be prepared for life in the wider world.
