Curriculum Statement:
PSHE and RSE at Grove Road Community Primary School
We use the Jigsaw Programme to support delivery of a high quality PSHE and RSE curriculum which offers a comprehensive, carefully thought-through Scheme of Work which brings consistency and progression to our children’s learning in this vital curriculum area.
Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) helps to give children the knowledge, skills and understanding they need to develop as confident, healthy and independent individuals. PSHE covers emotional health and well-being, financial awareness, sex and relationship education, drug, tobacco and alcohol education, bullying and citizenship, at a level appropriate to children’s age. At Grove Road we promote British values and prepare children for life in modern Britain; through PSHE and across the curriculum, children explore democracy, rights and responsibilities, respect and tolerance of those of different faiths, beliefs and opinions. PSHE is one of the many ways in which we support the Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural development of our children.
Personal and Social skills are at the heart of our school PRIDE values and are the focus of school assemblies, class behaviour reward systems and sunshine awards. Children are actively involved in making decisions and discussing issues surrounding their health, friendships and wellbeing through the School Parliament.
Opportunities to further children’s development in Personal, Social and Health Education are embedded throughout our curriculum including PE, Science and Metacognition. The children are also offered further enrichment activities to support and complement our PSHE curriculum. These include residential trips, school visits, sports and music clubs and events. Targeted nurture clubs and THRIVE sessions to support individuals and small groups who need additional support
RSE
The Relationships and Sex Education programme at Grove Road CP School incorporates the statutory guidance of both the Keeping Children Safe in Education (2020) and the Equality Act 2010, underpinned by the North Yorkshire County Council guidance.
The focus in Grove Road CP School is on teaching the fundamental building blocks and characteristics of positive relationships, with particular reference to friendships, family relationships, and relationships with other children and with adults.
At Grove Road CP School the Governors and Staff strive to create an atmosphere where every member of the school community feels respected and valued, where self-esteem is nurtured and where principles of tolerance and equal opportunities are seen in action, and the development of good relationships is a natural part of every day school life. We wish to help our pupils develop an understanding of how they can protect themselves, and to give them the confidence to seek help and support when they need it
Safeguarding
Through the teaching of PSHE and RSE pupils are taught about aspects of safeguarding in order to develop the knowledge and skills they need to recognise when they are at risk and how to get help when they need it including on-line safety. By using CPOMS to log incidents where adults in the school have safeguarding concerns about pupils, we can ensure that PSHE and RSE curriculum content is adapted to proactively address the needs of our pupils in a timely manner.
