PSHE & RSHE
Personal, Social, Health and Economic education (PSHE) & Relationships, Sex and Heath education (RSHE)
Intent
Personal, Social, Health and Economic education (PSHE) and Relationships, Sex and Heath education (RSHE) at Harris Academy Falconwood is taught in Key Stage 3 & Key Stage 4 to year 7 and year 10 students. The purpose of the PSHE and RSHE course is to provide students with knowledge and understanding of life skills which are not necessarily delivered in other subjects. Important aspects of the RSHE course are taught within the PSHE programme.
Students are provided with a series of lessons which are dedicated to their social, emotional and physical development, and allows students to develop a variety of valuable life skills which will not just enhance them academically but will also aid them to make more sensible and informed decisions outside of the academy.
The course includes the exploration of important topics which come under the personal, social, health, economic, & categories. The inclusion of such important content of relationships, ensures that students can be reflective, well rounded citizens and that they are about to make well informed decisions and choices int their future lives. There are a number of principles which underpin the PSHE curriculum. These include:
To bring students into contact with the issues of relationships, morals, ethics, values and are all developed through the curriculum.
To provide contextual knowledge which enables learners to develop and build a good sense of identity and belonging.
To enable learners to develop the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed at life in modern Britain including; personal, social, economic education, and relationships, Sex and health education.
To enable learners to consider, understand and live up to their responsibilities towards themselves, their families, and society.
To ensure that learners access IT and related knowledge including the dangers of technology so that they can make sensible decision in their future lives.
To continue to focus on the holistic development of learners within our academy.
Implementation
PSHE and RSHE is delivered to students in Years 7 & 10 in one 50-minute timetabled lesson each week. The lessons do not have to follow the typical Harris Academy Falconwood pedagogy. Frequently, the teacher may plan a lesson out of the classroom to develop the skills associated with that lesson topic.
Students are encouraged to debate, discuss and challenge themselves (and others) throughout the curriculum. These lessons are dedicated to developing the personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education of our students. All PSHE topics delivered are age appropriate and have been planned in accordance with advice from the PSHE Association. The Relationships, Sex and health education follows the latest government guidance. These lessons are designed to nurture the development of students at age-appropriate levels, where they continue throughout each key stage.
Impact
The PSHE and RSHE Coordinator (Mr L Anderson) will organise regular training opportunities for staff who are delivering this course.
The PSHE curriculum, promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of students and prepares them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adult life and society (School Standards and Framework Act 1998, S79; Circular 1/94 paragraph 16). Effective SMSC development is essential to the holistic growth of students.
The PSHE curriculum is designed to ensure that students develop the skills and knowledge to succeed in life after school as successful, well-rounded, thoughtful citizens of modern Britain.
In PSHE and RSHE teachers monitor students learning through participation in class and the dialogue of learners. Teachers also check the quality of students books for learning and provide whole-class feedback to identify areas for development. As with any subject, successful AFL strategies are used throughout the course so teachers can ascertain any misconceptions or topics which need further teaching at any point.PSHE is a non-assessed subject. Although there is ongoing monitoring of learning in PSHE and RSHE, students do not sit a formal exam.
