Statement of intent
RSE & PSHE At the Abbey Primary
Parents have the right to withdraw their child from non-statutory sex education but not from statutory sex education, health or relationships education.
At The Abbey we run our RSE & PSHE teaching through the Kapow Approach. A scheme of work for ages 5-11. The programme integrates a personal and social health education (Health and wellbeing) curriculum giving relevant context to build skills attitudes self esteem resilience and confidence that is taught explicitly as well as nurtured implicitly. It is taught week to week through progressive planned lessons. All children have their own journals in KS2 allowing them to record their thoughts and feelings, responding to the topic in different ways, such as art, drama and debates. EYFS and KS1 classes record weekly activities through a floor book.
Each year the children revisit topics building on this year on year. The class charter is decided by the children at the beginning of the year shown and discussed throughout the year. The children are made aware that what is discussed is in a safe and open space.
Through this scheme the children are at the heart of the programme and are able to develop their social and emotional well-being. It also allows the children to develop the foundations needed in the wider world, to help support their emotional well-being and metal health enhancing their life chances.
