PSHE

Living and Learning with Faith, Friendship and Fun

Subject leader: Sarah Siddiqui

Personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education is an important and necessary part of all pupils’ education.

  • Department for Education

At Charing CE Primary, we use the Kapow Primary scheme of work to deliver the statutory requirements for Relationships and Health Education (RSE) set out by the Department for Education. It also fulfils the National Curriculum requirement to teach Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) and goes beyond the statutory requirements by referring to the PSHE Association Programme of Study (recommended by the Department for Education.)

Progression Narrative

We believe that PSHE education helps children and young people stay healthy, safe and prepared for life – and work – in modern Britain. Our PSHE education is a planned programme of learning through which children and young people acquire the knowledge, understanding and skills they need to successfully manage their lives – now and in the future. As part of a whole-school approach, PSHE Education develops the qualities and attributes pupils need to thrive as individuals, family members and members of society.

PSHE encompasses many areas of study and we have tailored our PSHE programme to reflect the needs of our pupils. Our PSHE Kapow curriculum is categorised into five key areas, which we return to in each year group, making pupil’s prior and future learning clear and shows how what you are teaching fits into their wider learning journey. Year 6 also have a further key area: Identity.

  • Family and relationships
  • Health and well-being
  • Safety and the changing body
  • Citizenship
  • Economic wellbeing
  • Identity (Year 6 only)
