PSHE - Personal, Social, Health, Education

At Moor End, we aim to provide a broad and balanced curriculum tailored to individual pupil needs, which will enable all children to achieve their maximum potential.  We also strive to ensure that all pupils develop an enthusiasm for and a love of learning. To support our learning we use Kapow and myHappyminds to deliver a curriculum that supports the needs of our children.

Ethos and Values

Relationship and Sex education (RSE) will reflect the values of the PSHE and Citizenship programme.  RSE will be taught in the context of relationships. In addition RSE will promote self-esteem and emotional health and well-being and help them form and maintain worthwhile and satisfying relationships, based on respect for themselves and for others, at home, school, work and in the community.

At Moor End, we aim to provide a holistic education for all children. Every pupil will receive their full entitlement to RSE regardless of their educational ability, gender, race, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity or faith.  We aim to support children in their emotional, cultural and social, as well as academic development.

Relevant local data and information related to RSE is used to inform planning and to address the identified needs of the whole school community e.g. teenage pregnancy and chlamydia rates, child sexual exploitation, domestic abuse, social deprivation, family life, career and life chances.
