RSHE

The intent of our RSHE curriculum is to

At Acomb Primary School, we want our children to be confident, independent, resilient, healthy and tolerant with the capacity to make informed and responsible choices.
Help children to identify, recognise and maintain healthy relationships.
Our RSHE curriculum promotes the welfare, safety and positive mental health of our children.
RSHE is at the core of our school ethos underpinning our school values and our wider work on personal development.

	Resilience – Children will develop a positive sense of themselves, their local community and the wider world.
	Aspiration – Children will develop a growth mindset and will celebrate the achievements of themselves and others.
	Integrity – Children will understand the concept of integrity and its positive impact.
	Respect – Children will be inclusive and develop the skill of empathy in order that they work and play effectively alongside others.

We follow the SCARF scheme of work from Early Years to Year Six.
We follow a 2-year cycle from Y1 to Y6 to accommodate mixed age teaching.
We have a long term plan which outlines topics across each half term.
We have a clear progression document which outlines the key skills and vocabulary for each phase.
The curriculum is taught in a variety of engaging ways – such as class based learning, assemblies, visitors (eg NSPCC, York Rescue Boat, Fire Service), Young Leaders Award (Y2 & Y5) and visits (eg Crucial Crew).
We have a calendar of local and national events to support the curriculum – eg Black History Month, Anti-Bullying Week, Children’s Mental Health Week.

The intended impact is that children will:

Children will be equipped with the life skills to support them in the next stage of their education and in their wider lives.
Children will be well rounded people who can contribute positively to society.
