RSE PSHE Progressive Curriculum Long Term Coverage & Long Term Planning
Intent
Our curriculum covers key areas which will support children to make informed choices now and in the future around their health, safety, wellbeing, relationships, and financial matters and will support them in becoming confident individuals and active members of society.
To achieve this, we have adopted the Kapow scheme for PSHE & RSE. It is our intention that children’s learning through the scheme will significantly contribute to their personal development and promote the four fundamental British values which reflect life in modern Britain: democracy; rule of law; respect and tolerance and individual liberty.
Moreover, we intend to reinforce Slingsby CPs core values for life: Respect, Honesty, Resilience, Expectations and Caring for Others through whole school and class assemblies.
In order to promote a greater understanding of the world they are growing up in, and learn how to live alongside, and show respect for, a diverse range of people we include additional, planned teaching opportunities within our bespoke curriculum to nurture the personal development of each and every pupil in our care.
Our intent is:
- To support children in being prepared to make informed choices about their future health and welfare.
- To promote the four fundamental British Values.
- To infuse learning with the Slingsby CP core values for life.
- To nurture the children in our care so that they develop an understanding of the world in which they live and how to live alongside and show respect for, a diverse range of people.
We implement our PSHE curriculum by:
- Our use of the Kapow Primary scheme is a whole school approach where the five key areas of learning (three in EYFS) are taught in a spiral programme across the school, revisited and extended to allow children to build on prior learning.
- Lessons, stories, scenarios, and video clips provide the opportunity for children to engage in real life and current topics in a safe and structured way. Role-play activities are also used to help children play out scenarios that they may find themselves in, giving their learning meaning and purpose.
- In class discussion and questioning provide further opportunities for children to revisit what has been learnt.
- There are meaningful opportunities for cross-curricular learning, in particular with Computing for online safety and Science for growing, nutrition, teeth, diet and lifestyle.
- Our core values for life provide a consistent message of how to be a good citizen which runs through all aspects of school life.
- The children participate in a wide-range of community events with members of the local community combined with a bespoke programme of external visits and visitors to promote a greater understanding of the wider world.
The impact of our PSHE curriculum is that children:
- Can utilise their learning within their daily lives, from dealing with friendship issues to resilience to making healthy choices and knowing where and how to get help when needed.
- Are respectful, understanding and sensitive to others.
