At Streethay we strive to Nurture, Prepare and Inspire all children. This mission can only be achieved if we prioritise the PSHE (personal, social, health, and emotional) education of all children in all year groups. We want to give all children the time and the safe space to discuss their personal education each week in school.
We offer a core PSHE curriculum which covers all areas of personal, social, health, and emotional education required to allow all children the opportunity to thrive in school. Additionally, we offer some non-statutory learning options designed to keep children safe from harm. At Streethay we are transparent with our PSHE curriculum, and it is shared with all of our community to ensure that parents are fully aware of the PSHE learning their children is engaging with in school.
At Streethay, we recognise that PSHE needs to be given time and space within the school timetable, but we also recognise that the personal education of our children is a golden thread that runs through our entire curriculum. Our teachers will teach PSHE weekly, but also make the most of every teachable moment in the school day to have honest and respectful conversations that help all our children to thrive.
DfE RSHE Update
The Department for Education draft review of the statutory guidance on RSHE (Relationships, Sex, Health Education) in England was released for consultation in May. That consultation has now closed, and schools are now awaiting further guidance from the DfE. With the change of government there is a chance that this new guidance for RSHE in England may be delayed.
At Streethay, we understand the significance of ensuring that education on relationships, sex and health is relevant, age-appropriate, inclusive, and meets the needs of all pupils.
We use Jigsaw PSHE to deliver our PSHE and RSHE curriculum, who have issued guidance to schools (based in guidance from DfE) on which lessons within the scheme to continue to teach and which to drop until further guidance has been given from the DfE. At Streethay we are fully implementing this guidance as we await further clarity on what the curriculum will contain moving forward. If and when any new guidance is published Jigsaw PSHE will be updated and reviewed to ensure that the content is compliant and reflect the needs of children and young people.
