PSHRE
For PSHRE we follow the condensed Kapow curriculum. This ensures time is given to allow time to fit in the No Outsiders scheme and to take part in Outdoor Wellbeing Learning while still fulfilling the statutory requirements for PSHE and Relationships and Health Education set out by the Department for Education.
At Felsted Primary School, personal, social, health, religious and economic (PSHRE) education is an embedded part of our broad and balanced curriculum. Pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is at the heart of our school ethos.
At Felsted Primary School Primary School, the intent of our PSHRE curriculum is to deliver a curriculum which is accessible to all, and that will maximise the outcomes for every child, so that they know more, remember more and understand more. PSHRE is embedded in all that we do to enable our children to become independent, responsible, healthy and confident members of society. Our PSHRE curriculum has been built with the aim to support the development of the ‘whole child’, by helping them to understand how they are developing personally and socially as well as promoting their social, mental and physical development. Children will be able to develop the ability to tackle the moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up. Our children are encouraged to develop their sense of self-worth by playing a positive role in contributing to school life and the wider community.
The KAPOW scheme aims to give children the knowledge, skills and attitudes that they need to effectively navigate the complexities of life in the 21st Century. The curriculum covers key areas which will support children to make informed choices now and in the future around their health, safety, wellbeing, relationships, and financial matters and will support them in becoming confident individuals and active members of society.
KAPOW Primary’s PSHE/RSE scheme of work covers the Relationships and Health Education statutory guidance (as set out by the Department for Education), including the non-statutory sex education.
Relationships and Health Education in Primary School
Children’s learning through the KAPOW scheme significantly contributes towards their personal development and promotes the four fundamental British Values which reflect life in modern Britain: democracy; rule of law; respect and tolerance and individual liberty.
We also supplement the KAPOW scheme with No Outsiders to help the children develop an understanding of difference and ensure that everyone feels included and welcomed. You will find further information about this below:
The KAPOW Primary scheme is a whole school approach that consists of five areas of learning:
* Families and relationships
* Health and Wellbeing
* Safety and the changing body
* Citizenship
* Economic wellbeing
Each area is revisited every year to allow children to build on prior learning. The lessons also provide a progressive programme.
