P.S.H.E. (incl R.S.H.E.)

P.S.H.E. is an acronym for Personal, Social and Health Economic education and in our school incorporates the teaching of R.S.H.E. - Relationship, Sex and Health Education. 

PSHE is essential for preparing pupils for the wider world and to ensure that they understand the need for, and prioritise, looking after themselves - physically and mentally. 

A copy of the latest National Curriculum Programmes of Study for PSHE Key Stage 1-5 document can be found by following the link below.

The governors at Our Lady of Walsingham  Catholic Primary School have adopted the Journey in Love (2020) programme to support the non-statutory relationships and sex education across the school from Nursery ti Year 6. The programme of study is authentic to the teaching of the Catholic Church.  

As part of our commitment to you, we will hold a meeting annually for the parents and carers of children across the school to discuss the programme.  As parents, you have the right to withdraw your child from this aspect of the curriculum however, this is not to be confused with curriculum Science which is statutory.  

If you require any further clarification regarding this aspect of the curriculum please contact: Mrs McKinnon, Headteacher.
