Welcome to Personal, Social, Health, Economic and Relationship and Sex Education at Lightmoor
Intent
It is our intent, that through our PSHE curriculum we will equip pupils with a clear understanding of risk and the knowledge and skills necessary to make safe and informed decisions now and in the future. To embrace the challenges of developing into a happy, safe and successful adult, pupils need to be given knowledge that will enable them to make informed decisions about their wellbeing, health and relationships. We are aware that everyone faces difficult situations in their life and we hope that through our PSHE curriculum we can support our young people to develop resilience, to know how and when to ask for help, and to know where to access support.
Implementation
At Lightmoor Village Primary School we value PSHEE and RSE as one way to support children’s development, to enable them to understand and respect who they are, to empower them with a voice and to equip them for life and learning. We include the revised statutory Relationships and Health Education within our whole-school PSHEE and RSE Programme. Our PSHE curriculum is built around the Jigsaw PSHEE and RSE scheme, which provides a clear, progressive structure for developing pupils’ personal, social, emotional and health education. This core programme has been tailored to suit our context and pupils and is supplemented with a range of additional high-quality resources to enrich learning and ensure broad coverage. These include the No Outsiders programme, which champions inclusion, diversity and equality; Picture News, which supports weekly discussion of topical and relevant current events; and Natter Hub, which delivers a systematic and thorough online safety curriculum. Together, these elements, alongside external resources, ensure that pupils receive a comprehensive and well-balanced PSHE education that reflects the needs of our school community.

Impact
At Lightmoor, our pupils receive a broad and balanced curriculum. There are opportunities in individual lessons and at the start and end of a unit of work to assess whether children know and remember more. There are clear end points for pupils in all year groups to achieve age related outcomes in PSHE. We strive to ensure that all pupils at Lightmoor are well prepared for the next stage of their education.
