PSHE including RSHE

For the children of Axbridge to leave with the knowledge, understanding and emotions to play an active, positive and successful role in today’s diverse society. We want the children to have a belief in themselves and realise that anything is possible, if they put their mind to it. In an ever changing world it is important that they learn to deal with the range of factors that affect their world and have the tools in which to do so. They need to be able to identify their emotions and openly talk about them. This will help to ensure they maintain good mental health and wellbeing. Our PSHE curriculum develops learning and results in the acquisition of knowledge and skills which will enable children to access the wider curriculum. It will also prepare them to be a global citizen now and in their future roles within a global community. It promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils, preparing them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences for later life. Our Relationships, Sex and Health Education enables our children to learn how to be safe, and to understand what healthy relationships are now and in the future.
