Approaches to PSHE/RSHE

At Crofton Junior School we believe that PSHE is a vital part of the curriculum, which provides children the opportunity to 'acquire the knowledge, understanding and skills they need to manage their lives, now and in the future.’ (PSHE Association).

In order to ensure that we provide consistently high-quality PSHE curriculum, we implement the 'One Life' PSHE scheme of work across school.

Crofton Junior School, considers that Relationships and Sex Education and Health Education (RSHE) is an integral part of the Personal, Social, Citizenship, Health and Economic (PSCHE) Education curriculum.

We aim to offer pupils a carefully planned programme on human development, relationships and family life within a safe, comfortable atmosphere. Our staff model supportive relationships and nurture. The programme is set within a moral framework and matched to the pupils’ level of maturity. These aims complement those of the science curriculum in KS2.

RSHE is taught through our One Life programme following a deliberately planned and carefully sequenced curriculum which goes above and beyond the Department for Education’s statutory guidance.

Through One Life, RSHE content is broken down into 3 strands: Mental Fitness; Physical Fitness and Social Fitness. We are passionate in our belief that, for our children to grow into happy, healthy and well-rounded young people and adults, we must teach them, explicitly, how to develop mentally, physically and socially.

We collectively meet once a week for a ‘One Life’ assembly and each of our school days begin with our Morning Routine.
