Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHE)
At St Peter and St Paul CE VA Primary School our school mission statement, 'Learn, Love, Live in the Light of the Lord', lies at the heart of our PSHE curriculum.
Learn - To learn to keep themselves healthy and safe
Love - To love themselves and others and to respect differences
Live - To live happy and fulfilled lives
Our Curriculum
Following the Department for Education's updated statutory guidance (2025), our PSHE curriculum is designed using the PSHE Association's Curriculum Model, ensuring a broad, balanced and progressive programme of learning for every child.
The PSHE Association's Programme of Study includes Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE), incorporating the statutory content for Relationships Education and Health Education, alongside recommended Sex Education. It also includes learning about Economic Wellbeing and Careers Education, helping children to develop the knowledge, skills and understanding they need both now and in the future.
Our curriculum is carefully tailored to reflect the needs of our pupils and the values of our school community. Through engaging, age-appropriate lessons, children develop the confidence to build positive relationships, understand and manage their emotions, make informed and responsible choices, keep themselves healthy and safe, and recognise where to seek help and support when they need it.
We believe that high-quality PSHE education plays a vital role in preparing children for life beyond the classroom. By nurturing resilience, kindness, respect and independence, we aim to help every child become a confident, caring and responsible member of society.
