PSHE
Personal, Social, Health Education
At Ilfracombe Church of England Junior School, our Christian Vision of 'Life in all its fullness' means we are committed to pupils being provided with an education that prepares them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adult life. A key part of this relates to relationships education, which must be delivered to every primary-aged pupil. Primary schools also have the option to decide whether pupils are taught sex education. State-funded primary schools are also required to teach health education.
​
We teach aspects of this across the curriculum and through extra curricular activities as well as during weekly PSHE lessons.
​
PSHE Policy
We understand our responsibility to deliver a high-quality, age-appropriate and evidence-based relationships, sex and health curriculum for all our pupils. This policy sets out the framework for our relationships, sex and health curriculum, providing clarity on how it is informed, organised and delivered.
​
​Relationships education focusses on giving pupils the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their wellbeing, health and relationships, and to build their self-efficacy. Health education focusses on equipping pupils with the knowledge they need to make good decisions about their own health and wellbeing.
​
The teaching of PSHE meets the requirements in the DfE’s ‘Relationships education, relationships and sex education (RSE) and health education’ .
