What is PSHE & RSE?

PSHE stands for Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education. RSE stands for Relationships and Sex Education. 

At Pool Primary, our RSE and PSHE scheme covers the full breadth of learning pupils need to stay healthy, safe and prepared for life. This includes:

• Personal
• Social
• Health
• Economic
• Relationships
• Citizenship
• Sex education

Why is RSE & PSHE important?

RSE & PSHE education helps pupils maintain their mental and physical health and understand the various factors that influence their wellbeing. They learn how to build strong and supportive relationships, how to keep themselves safe in various situations and how to make thoughtful decisions about money, health and the online world.

A broad and balanced curriculum
Our scheme is organised into strands and key areas to ensure a broad and balanced curriculum.

Key areas group Year 1-6 learning into meaningful themes and ensure that all statutory content is covered. The strands run from Reception to Year 6, demonstrating how pupils develop lifelong skills in managing themselves, regulating their emotions, building positive relationships and thinking critically.

Together, the strands and key areas help pupils revisit important ideas over time, building their confidence and understanding in a structured way.
