At our school, we believe that Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSE) is a key part of our pupils' personal, social and health education (PSHE). We have consulted with Governors, parents, carers and pupils to ensure that the RSE curriculum is tailored to the needs of our students and is age-appropriate and fun. Our RSE curriculum is compliant with statutory requirements and covers topics such as healthy relationships, sex education, and physical and mental health. We strive to provide our pupils with the knowledge and understanding they need to make positive and informed decisions.

​

Our school uses PSHE Matters, the Derbyshire County

Council written scheme for schools. As a school, we

worked collaboratively as staff to choose the scheme

that best met the needs of our children and fit our

school ethos. This meant that we evaluated 14

different schemes, all with varying styles, costs and

approaches to creativity. Our teachers trialled five of

the schemes we felt showed promise, to see how they

performed with a class of children. The children fed

back on the scheme, meaning that, when we came

back together as staff, we had pupil voice included in

the process. Alongside this, we held a consultation with

our Well-Being Governors who we also tasked with

evaluating our choices. Following this, we chose PSHE

Matters as we felt it offered us a scheme that most

closely matched the ethos of our school. Finally, we

held a Parent Consultation to enable them to share

their views and to address any misconceptions.
