Lanesfield PSHE and RSHE

Curriculum Intent

​

At Lanesfield, the intent of our PSHE and RSHE curriculum is to equip all children with the knowledge, skills and values they need to lead confident, healthy, safe and fulfilled lives. We want our pupils to develop a secure understanding of themselves and others, build positive relationships, and make informed decisions that will support their wellbeing now and in the future.

​

Through our PSHE and RSHE teaching we aim to:

​

• Promote emotional literacy and resilience so children can recognise and express feelings, develop empathy, and cope with change and challenge.

• Support healthy lifestyles by encouraging an understanding of physical and mental health, including making safe choices around diet, exercise, hygiene and digital use.

• Develop respectful relationships by teaching children how to communicate, cooperate, and resolve conflict, while valuing diversity, equality and inclusion.

• Prepare pupils for life in modern Britain by fostering an understanding of rights and responsibilities, financial awareness, and respect for the rule of law and democracy.

• Provide age-appropriate RSHE so children understand body changes, personal boundaries, consent, safety (including online safety), and the importance of family and community.

• Celebrate individuality while promoting kindness, tolerance and respect, enabling every child to feel valued and confident in who they are.

 

Our curriculum is designed to be progressive and inclusive, building knowledge and skills in a carefully sequenced way from Early Years through to Year 6. It reflects our school’s values, responds to the needs of our community, and actively promotes the spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) development of all pupils.

​

Ultimately, our intent is for every child to leave primary school with the foundations they need to flourish – as healthy, respectful and responsible citizens, ready for the next stage of their education and beyond.
