PSHE

Personal, Social, Health, and Economic Education (PSHE)

At Raynville Academy, our PSHE curriculum has been designed to help our children become happy, well-adjusted, resilient, caring and responsible people, who will be able to make good choices about keeping their bodies and minds healthy and will know how to form healthy, positive and safe relationships, both in the real world and online. Through these lessons, we are preparing our pupils to be able to flourish and thrive with the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of life in modern day Britain.

Our spiral curriculum ensures that our children revisit key themes and questions as they progress through school and allows issues to be addressed in an age-appropriate way. It is adaptive and inclusive, meeting the needs of all our pupils, including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Our curriculum also includes Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) which became statutory from September 2020. We ensure that our curriculum fosters gender equality and LGBTQ+ equality through our inclusive and diverse lessons. External visitors, such as nurses, dentists, police officers and fire safety officers are used within our PSHE programme in order to enrich learning and provide expert input for our curriculum.
