PSHE & RSE Curriculum Intent
Personal Social Health Education (PSHE) including Relationships Sex Education (RSE) is at the heart of our school values and ethos and runs throughout all that we do.
At BCHS we study PSHE and RSE so that our students can become healthy, independent, safe and responsible members of our society. We want our children to be able to demonstrate respect and tolerance and be prepared to face and manage the challenges and opportunities of an ever-changing modern Britain.
The aim of PSHE and RSE lessons is to help our children understand how they are developing personally and socially, and tackles many of the moral, social and cultural issues they will come across as they grow up and mature into young adults. We provide opportunities to learn about rights and responsibilities and to appreciate what it means to be part of a diverse community.
PSHE and RSE allows our children to develop the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to keep themselves healthy and safe, and prepare for life and work in modern Britain.
PSHE and RSE promote personal development by helping pupils to develop confidence, resilience and self-esteem, and to identify and manage risk, make informed choices and understand what influences their decisions.
The main themes studied in PSHE and RSE are health and well being, relationships and living in the wider world. Through these themes we aim to equip our children to live healthy, safe, productive, capable, responsible and balanced lives.
