Personal, social, health and economic education (including RSHE)
By the end of Year 6, we want children at Oughtibridge Primary school to be able to understand the concepts below and to be able to answer these key questions about them.
Family – What does ‘family’ mean to different people?
Friends – What makes a positive friendship?
Community – What responsibilities do we have to our community and beyond?
Mental Wellbeing – What can people do to be mentally healthy and how do these choices affect them?
Physical Health – What can people do to be physically healthy and how do these choices affect them?
Growing up – How do people change as they get older?
One of our core aims at Oughtibridge Primary School is that we want our children to be well rounded individuals by the time they move on to secondary school. PSHE (Personal, social, health and economic education/Citizenship) and RSHE (Relationships, Sex and Health education) are central to this goal.
We teach PSHE both in discrete sessions but it is also embedded within other subjects to ensure that the wider curriculum also promotes diversity, respect and self-awareness. Our PSHE and RSHE sessions centre around age-appropriate, discussion led activities that help children to know how to be safe, build and maintain positive relationships, be healthy and respect equality and diversity in all its forms.
