PSHE & RSE

PSHE stands for Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education. RSE stands for Relationships and Sex Education. Schools may use different names for these subjects: RSE may be referred to as RSHE when health education is included; similarly, PSHE may be referred to as PSHCE when citizenship is included.

The Kapow Primary PSHE/RSE 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 (optional).

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.

Pupils may receive mixed messages about these topics from friends, siblings, social media and the wider world. High-quality RSE & PSHE ensures every child receives clear, accurate and age-appropriate teaching so they can make safe and informed choices as they grow.
