Personal, Social and Health Education (including Relationships and Sex Education)
At Moss Hall Schools PSHE is at the heart of our curriculum, helping children build the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to navigate modern life safely, happily and successfully. We aim to nurture confident, resilient and compassionate individuals who value themselves and others, understand how to stay healthy and safe and feel prepared for their future roles as active citizens in our diverse society. Relationship and Sex Education is part of the National Curriculum and delivered in an age-appropriate way.
We deliver the curriculum through spiral, sequence-based curriculum that builds upon pupils’ prior learning year after year.
Our PSHE learning journeys are structured around five core themes:
- Family and Relationships: Exploring positive friendships, family dynamics, conflict resolution, and celebrating diversity.
- Health and Wellbeing: Understanding physical health, mental wellbeing, emotional literacy, healthy choices, and growth mindset.
- Safety and the Changing Body: Learning age-appropriate online safety, personal boundaries, basic first aid, and managing physical and emotional changes.
- Citizenship: Discovering community roles, human rights, democracy, environmental responsibility, and living in a wider world.
- Economic Wellbeing: Introducing financial education, understanding money, career aspirations, and decision-making.
Through interactive lessons, open discussions, role-play and reflective activities, pupils develop critical life skills, self-awareness and empathy in a safe, supportive environment. PSHE is fully integrated into our school ethos, assemblies and daily practice, reinforcing our shared values and pupil voice.
