Relationships, Sex and Health Education

PSHRE at Mayfield, is an embedded part of our broad and balanced curriculum. Our PSHRE curriculum has been designed to build and broaden children’s knowledge and understanding, allowing our children to have a good understanding of the importance of quality relationships, positive health and well-being so they can thrive throughout their lives. To embrace the challenges of creating a happy and successful adult life, children need knowledge that will enable them to make informed decisions about their wellbeing, health and relationships and to build their self-efficacy.

Our PSHERE curriculum is underpinned by a teaching and learning approach that incorporates three key fundamental core strands; Health and Wellbeing, Relationships and Living in the Wider World. These elements intertwine to support pupils to be healthy, sociable, safe and prepared for modern life. Our PSHE and RSE curriculum incorporates health education, relationships education/RSE and economic wellbeing and careers. The PSHRE curriculum covers all aspects of statutory PSHRE knowledge. It is designed to integrate topics both vertically (looking at consistent aspects of PSHRE in each year group) and horizontally (building continuous knowledge and skills throughout a Year group). Each year group covers PSHRE themes that fit in with their half termly topic allowing for a well-rounded and immersive curriculum.
