PSHE & RSE

PSHE and RSE Curriculum

Design:

Our aim is to ensure children are able to develop into the most social, emotional, moral, spiritual and resilient young people can be to take into adulthood. Relationships and sex education (RSE) is an important part of PSHE education. Relationships education is compulsory for all primary school pupils. Through the Jigsaw PSHE core programmes children learn the language, vocabulary and techniques that enable them to build their confidence and ‘emotional repertoire’.

Delivery:

Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHE) and Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural development (SMSC) at Micklem is taught through Jigsaw PSHE. This scheme splits each aspect into a piece of a jigsaw that represents understanding building up over time. Through this, our children have the opportunity to discuss and reflect on what is happening in the world around them, allowing them to develop the progressive knowledge, skills and attributes needed to keep themselves healthy and safe and prepared for life and work. It also covers compulsory Relationship and Sex Education (RSE) in an age appropriate way. 

Difference:

By the end of their Micklem journey, children will have explored healthy, respectful relationships, focusing on family and friendships, in all contexts, including online. They will have the knowledge and skills to be healthy, stay safe and be prepared for life and work in modern Britain. Micklem children will have the vocabulary to talk about their emotions and will start secondary school with the ability to work with others collaboratively and respectively.
