Personal, Social, Health Education & Relationship, Sex Education

The PSHE pathway shows clearly what the pupils will be learning as they progress on their journey at Camelford Primary School.

At Camelford Primary School we work on a 2-year rolling programme – Year B starting Sept 2025.

The table below includes the subject coverage which details when in the year the specific topics/areas are taught. These areas have been identified by the school team from the National Curriculum and beyond – ensuring they are relevant for the pupils at Camelford Primary School and are linked to different threads within each term

PSHE and RSE Curriculum INTENT, IMPLEMENTATION and IMPACT

Intent

At Camelford Primary School, we follow Kapow Primary’s RSE/PSHE scheme of work which covers the Relationships and Health Education statutory guidance (as set out by the Department for Education), including the non-statutory sex education.

The scheme aims to give children the knowledge, skills, and attitudes they need to effectively navigate the complexities of life in the 21st Century. The curriculum covers key areas which will support children to make informed choices now and in the future around their health, safety, wellbeing, relationships, and financial matters and will support them in becoming confident individuals and active members of society.

The scheme also covers wider PSHE learning, in line with the requirement of the National Curriculum, that schools must make provision for personal, social, health and economic education (PSHE).

Children’s learning through this scheme contributes to their Personal Development and promotes the four fundamental British values which reflect life in modern Britain: Democracy; Rule of Law; Respect & Tolerance and Individual Liberty.

Quality PSHE and RSE teaching is an important element in helping schools to carry out their duty of care with regards to safeguarding. The DfE’s statutory 'Keeping children safe in education' guidance states that ‘Governing bodies and proprietors should ensure that children are taught about safeguarding, including online safety. Schools should consider this as part of providing a broad and balanced curriculum’.

Implementation

The scheme is a whole school approach which consists of five areas of learning:

Family and relationships
Health and wellbeing
Safety and the changing body

Citizenship
Economic wellbeing

Each area is revisited every year to allow children to build on prior learning.

Sex education has been included in line with the D of E recommendations and is covered in Year 6 of our scheme.

The scheme supports the requirements of the Equality Act through direct teaching, for example learning about different families, the negative effect of stereotypes and celebrating differences, in addition to the inclusion of diverse teaching resources throughout the lessons.

A range of teaching and learning activities are used and are based on good practice in teaching RSE/PSHE education to ensure that all children can access learning and make progress. In many lessons, stories, scenarios, and video clips provide the opportunity for children to engage in real life and current topics in a safe and structured way. Role-play activities are also included to help children play out scenarios that they may find themselves in.

There are meaningful opportunities for cross-curricular learning. An example of this is Computing for online safety and Science for growing, nutrition, teeth, diet and lifestyle. The scheme provides consistent messages throughout the age ranges including how and where to access help.

Impact

Each lesson features assessment guidance, helping teachers to identify whether pupils have met, exceeded, or failed to meet the desired learning intentions for that lesson.

Each unit of lessons comes with an Assessment quiz and Knowledge catcher. These can be used at the start of a unit to see what the children already know and to inform planning, and then pupils can revisit the same version of the Knowledge catcher at the end of the unit to add what else they now know, further demonstrating their progression in learning.

Having been taught the full scheme, children will have met the objectives set out within the Relationships and Health Education statutory guidance and can utilize their learning within their daily lives, from dealing with friendship issues, to resilience to making healthy choices and knowing where and how to get help when needed.
