PSHE & RSE

Our PSHE & RSE leader is Mrs Hughes.

We incorporate RSE (Relationships and Sex Education) into our PSHE lessons. Children at Copeland Road are taught PSHE & RSE in blocks throughout the year which fall into 3 different categories: Relationships, Health and Wellbeing and Living in the Wider World. This allows children to link their previous knowledge from previous years. In PSHE & RSE lessons, children learn using a range of different activities including drama and writing activities.

When children leave Copeland Road Primary we would like them to be able to:

  • Be healthy, independent and responsible members of society. They will know how to keep themselves safe online as well as in the world around them.
  • Form healthy relationships with others including family and friends. They need to be able to recognise what constitutes a good relationship and how to maintain this.
  • Have good self-esteem and confidence about their own ability. They will be able to recognise their strengths and be able to show respect to others. They can manage their own feelings and recognise how these can change as they grow older.

Please see here for our PSHE Long Term Plan. As PSHE is not statutory in the National Curriculum, please see here for a link to the guidelines.
