--- title: "PSHE/RSE" url: "https://englishmartyrs.co.uk/curriculum/pshe-rshe" school: "English Martyrs Catholic Primary School (Litherland)" --- # PSHE/RSHE ### Our Goal At English Martyrs, we aim for our children to leave school ready to thrive in today's diverse society. We want them to have high aspirations, believe in themselves, and know that they can achieve anything with effort and determination. Our Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHE) and Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) programmes equip children with essential life skills, helping them lead happy, fulfilled, and productive lives as valuable members of society. We ensure our curriculum encourages dignity, self-worth, confidence, and empathy, and includes all pupils, regardless of gender, culture, ability, or personal circumstances. Our curriculum meets all required objectives and covers Health and Wellbeing, Relationships, and Living in the Wider World, fulfilling the 2025 statutory Relationships and Health Education requirements. ### How we teach PSHE/RSHE To maintain high teaching standards in PSHE/RSHE, we have a progressive curriculum for the whole school. PSHE/RSHE is taught through formal lessons, cross-curricular activities, classroom management, and informal interactions. It is supported by science lessons and circle time sessions, with assemblies focusing on attitudes, values, and celebrating successes. We use the [**Ten:Ten**](https://www.tentenresources.co.uk/life-to-the-full-primary/) [**'Life to the Full plus'**](https://www.tentenresources.co.uk/life-to-the-full-primary/) scheme and the **'Journey in Love'** scheme approved by the Archdiocese of Liverpool to deliver our PSHE/RSHE curriculum. This curriculum covers themes including; Created by God, Created to Love Others, and Created to Live in Community, ensuring children embed their knowledge over a two-year cycle. The programme of study is discretely supported by the teaching of Mindfulness, Class Rules and Routines, Zones of Regulation, Mindful Movement, Online Safety, Anti Bullying Week, NSPCC-Pants and The Religious Education Directory (curriculum for Catholic schools). ### Impact Pupils leave English Martyrs well-prepared for the next stage of their education and life.
