Personal, Social, Health Education and Sex & Relationship Education come under the same umbrella at Rushmere Hall. 

At Rushmere Hall, the intent of our PSHE & Citizenship is to help children to develop the personal qualities and characteristics that they need to flourish as individuals, family members and members of their communities. Our curriculum contributes to their personal development by boosting their confidence, resilience and self-esteem. It will provide them with the knowledge, skills and understanding necessary for them to live healthy, safe and responsible lives and will enable them to understand the importance of making well-informed decisions regarding their careers and economic well-being. We also want our children to clarify their personal opinions, ideas and values by exploring different attitudes, ideas and values of other people, not just in Britain, but around the world. We recognise that there is a close link between our PSHE curriculum and other work we do in school such supporting our families, young carers, inclusion and promoting positive mental health.
​

The PSHE curriculum is designed to offer all children the opportunity to explore many different areas of PSHE & citizenship. The long term plan for each year group is divided into these different areas and some of these are revisited as the children progress through the school (such as ‘Who am I?’ and ‘Feelings and relationships’). Lessons are taught once a week and will sometimes be recorded in books but could also be a discussion based or drama lesson. As children progress through school, the curriculum areas are revisited to allow children to make links and build upon prior knowledge.

Please see our SEND page for details of how ALL subjects are adapted to meet the needs of all pupils.
