PSHE/RSE
During Key Stages 1 and 2, learners gradually build on the skills, attitudes and values, knowledge and understanding they have started to acquire and develop during the Early Years/Foundation Stage.
South Petherwin Primary School's RSHE education offers learning opportunities and experiences which reflect the increasing independence and physical and social awareness of learners as they move through the school. They learn skills to develop effective relationships, assume greater personal responsibility and keep themselves safe. Our PSHE curriculum assists pupils to cope with the changes at puberty, introduces them to a wider world and enables them to make an active contribution to their communities and in turn, prepares them to be able to succeed in the future.
The curriculum is divided into three core themes, which run throughout the key stages:
Health and Wellbeing
Relationships
Living in the Wider World
Each area will be taught throughout the school year and will be tailored for the age of the pupils. Each area will provide the pupils with the following objectives.
Health and Wellbeing
