PSHE & RSE

At Holy Cross, we value Personal, Social, Health and Economic education.  We provide a planned programme of learning through which children and young people gain the knowledge, understanding and skills they need to manage their lives as individuals, family members and members of society – now and in the future.

A high-quality PSHE education gives pupils the knowledge, skills, and attributes they need to keep themselves healthy and safe and to prepare them for life and work in modern Britain. 

From September 2020, primary schools in England also need to teach Relationships and Health Education as compulsory subjects and the Department for Education strongly recommends this should also include age-appropriate Sex Education.

Every school needs to have a broad and balanced curriculum that:

• promotes the spiritual, moral, social, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils at the school;

•prepares pupils at the school for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life;

• promotes British values.
