It covers:

• family and people who care for
• caring friendships
• respectful and kind relationships
• personal boundaries
• online safety
• being safe

Health Education is also compulsory.

It covers:

• general wellbeing and mental wellbeing
• wellbeing online
• physical health and fitness
• healthy eating
• personal hygiene, health protection and prevention
• healthy lifestyles including drugs, alcohol, tobacco and vaping
• personal safety
• basic first aid
• developing bodies

Updated statutory guidance from September 2026

From September 2026, the updated statutory guidance includes:

• a greater focus on online safety and digital wellbeing
• teaching the correct names for body parts to support safeguarding
• education about financial exploitation and online risks
• more emphasis on mental health topics, including grief, loss, and loneliness
• recognition of different family structures

Our curriculum

From September 2026 our curriculum will reflect these requirements and help prepare children for life in modern Britain.

Pupil voice survey

Whole school pupil voice survey. We asked our children about their PSHE lessons and their learning, peer support and our school environment, their wellbeing and choices and about their knowledge and confidence.

We found out that in KS1, children:

• Recognised the opportunities school provides for them to develop their learning in PSHE outside the curriculum,
• Look forward to PSHE lessons and feel important to someone at school,
• They are respectful to the school environment,
• Enjoy school and feel happy with who they are.

In lower KS2, children said they:

• Learn about things that are interesting to them in PSHE, 
• Help each other solve friendship problems and help each other to learn, 
• They are able to use devices safely and limit their screen time responsibly,
• School supports their personal development.

In upper KS2, children said they:

• Understand how PSHE helps them in their life,
• Understand there are jobs in school that they can do to help our school community,
• They are happy with who they are and feel important to someone at home and school.
• Know how to keep themselves safe and they surround themselves with friends that look after them, keep them safe and help them be the best that they can be.

Governor CPD - Curriculum committee meeting

Parent survey

We have invited parent views, through a questionnaire devised using the questions recommended by the Sex Education Forum. 

• Did you know there is a school policy on sex and relationships education (SRE)?
• Has your child ever talked to you about something they learnt at school to do with growing up, sex and relationships?
• Has your child ever asked you questions about growing up, sex and relationships?
• Would you like more information about what the school teaches on sex and relationships?
• Do you want more support to help you talk to your child about sex and relationships issues at home?
