PSHE/RSHE

At Christ the King Catholic Primary Academy, we encourage every child to strive for their very best through our school motto, ‘We Can and We Will’. Teaching PSHE gives every child and young person an equal opportunity to develop the skills and knowledge they need to thrive now and in the future. This includes helping them to deal with critical issues they face every day such as friendships, emotional wellbeing and change. The PSHE curriculum helps pupils to stay healthy, safe and prepared for life and work in modern Britain. When our children leave Christ the King, they leave with a solid foundation for whatever challenging opportunities lie ahead, so they can face a world full of uncertainty with hope.

Curriculum Intent

National Curriculum Guidance on PSHE States that schools must provide a PSHE programme to equip pupils with a sound understanding of risk and with the knowledge and skills necessary to make safe and informed decisions. Our PSHE curriculum is designed to foster and give the children the tools to develop:

  1. Aspiration: Children are given the self-esteem and self-confidence to aspire to be whatever they want to be.
  2. Healthy Lifestyle: Children are taught self-care techniques – the importance of rest, sleep, hobbies, spending time with family and friends, as well as the importance of eating healthy meals, having regular exercise and preparing for puberty, helping them achieve a healthier lifestyle.
  3. Communication: Children are taught how to recognise and talk about their emotions and feelings.
  4. Community: teaching children to respect themselves and others now should enable them to be successful, happy adults, who will make a meaningful contribution to their community.
  5. Knowledge of the World: Children are taught the rules and principles of staying safe online: how to recognise risks, harmful content, unhealthy friendships and how to report / block them, essential in our rapidly changing world of technology.
