Intent

At Coppull Parish C of E Primary School, our intent is to deliver a high-quality PSHE and RSHE curriculum that is fully inclusive, accessible to all pupils, and designed to ensure every child knows more, remembers more and understands more.

Our curriculum enables children to become healthy, independent, resilient and responsible members of society, prepared for life in modern Britain. It supports pupils in developing the knowledge, skills and attributes needed to manage their personal, social and emotional development in a safe and increasingly complex world, both online and offline.

We aim for pupils to develop the understanding required to build and maintain healthy relationships, manage emotions and wellbeing and keep themselves safe. Children are taught about rights and responsibilities and are supported to recognise risk, seek help and make informed choices.

PSHE and RSHE are underpinned by our Christian vision and values and promote a strong sense of self-worth, belonging and responsibility.

Implementation

PSHE and RSHE is delivered from Reception to Year 6 through a carefully sequenced and progressive curriculum, ensuring knowledge and skills are built upon over time.

The curriculum is based on statutory guidance for Relationships Education and Health Education and is delivered through the 1Decision programme, supported by additional high-quality resources where appropriate.

Key areas of learning include:

• relationships, friendships and family life

• safeguarding and personal safety

• online safety and digital wellbeing

• emotional health and mental wellbeing

• consent, privacy and boundaries

• puberty and growing up

• bullying, including cyberbullying

• healthy lifestyles and physical wellbeing

• diversity, equality and inclusion

• British Values, citizenship and democracy

• financial education and economic awareness

• substance awareness and risk management

• careers and aspirations

Learning is enriched through whole-school events such as Anti-Bullying Week, Safer Internet Day and Children’s Mental Health Week, ensuring real-life context and reinforcement of key themes.

Teaching approaches include discussion, role play, reflection, stories and structured activities, with clear ground rules to ensure a safe, respectful and inclusive environment. Pupils are encouraged to share ideas, listen to others and develop confidence in expressing themselves.

The curriculum also contributes strongly to SMSC development and the promotion of British Values.

Impact

The impact of our PSHE and RSHE curriculum is that pupils leave Coppull Parish C of E Primary School as confident, respectful and responsible individuals who are well prepared for the next stage of education and life in modern society.

Pupils demonstrate:

• a secure understanding of how to keep themselves safe online and offline

• the ability to recognise and manage emotions and wellbeing

• an understanding of healthy relationships, consent and boundaries

• respect for diversity and difference, with the ability to challenge stereotypes

• increasing independence in making safe and informed decisions

• confidence in seeking help and support when needed

Children are able to communicate their thoughts and feelings using age-appropriate language and show empathy, resilience and respect in their interactions with others.

Impact is monitored through pupil voice, lesson observations, learning walks, work scrutiny, staff feedback and ongoing formative assessment to ensure the curriculum remains effective, responsive and high quality.
