Overview of PSPE and RSHE
Personal, Social and Physical Education (PSPE) at Landmark concerns the development of student´s wellbeing, exploring issues around identity, interactions, wellness and movement across all spheres of their lives, now and in the future. At Landmark, we acknowledge that well-being is intrinsic to all aspects of our students´ lives, and issues around these themes may need to be addressed at any point in time. Our carefully constructed curriculum ensures key knowledge, skills and understanding are developed within our transdisciplinary programme of inquiry, however flexibility in our timetables ensure specific issues are addressed in a timely, authentic and relevant manner, as appropriate.
Relationships and Sex and Health Education (RSHE) ensures students at Landmark are given appropriate, timely and factual knowledge to support them in developing their life skills in making informed choices, navigating social and emotional relationships and deepening their understanding of their rights and responsibilities as they grow and change. Following the statutory guidance, topics that students´ should cover at age-appropriate points in their Primary education have been mapped out in the document below.
Where appropriate, explicit teaching of specific areas occurs at set points across the year, to ensure balanced and comprehensive coverage of content that will benefit our students to become confident, resilient and empathetic learners.
