At Dinting Primary School personal, social, health and citizenship education is integral to all we do. These life skills are woven into our curriculum in all subjects and throughout the day.
Under section 78 of the Education Act 2002 and the Academies Act 2010, a Personal, Social, Health Education (PSHE) curriculum:
- Promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils at the school and of society, and
- Prepares pupils at the school for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life.
An amendment to the Children and Social Work Act 2017 made Relationships and Health Education at primary; and Relationships, Sex, and Health Education at secondary, statutory subjects.
We follow the Jigsaw PSHE Programme and are confident that it covers all aspects of Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) within the context of a full PSHE programme in an age-appropriate way.
