South Hill Primary School

At South Hill Primary School, we pride ourselves on caring for our pupils' wellbeing and helping them to become positive, well-rounded and active citizens of the future. We have a bespoke PSHE programme which is designed and tailored to the needs of our pupils/school community. This focuses on: 

​

• Teaching children how to be successful citizens

• Promoting wellbeing

• Promoting 'British Values'

• Reinforcing all elements of our school ethos 'The South Hill Way'.

​

We follow the 'Christopher Winter Project' for our Relationships, Drug and Sex Education' provision (which is included in our wider PSHE provision) and we have produced a range of 'Knowledge Organisers' to ensure parents know what their children will be taught in 'RSE' in each year group. RSE, at South Hill, includes the following elements:

​

• Relationship Education (RSE) - this primarily focuses on teaching the fundamental building blocks of positive relationships to ensure pupils know what a healthy relationship looks like; where they are valued and where equality exists and to also ensure all families and individuals are 'represented' and 'seen'.

• ​

• Health Education - this focuses on understanding how to keep our bodies healthy and what it means to have a healthy lifestyle to ensure children can be healthy adults and make good choices later on in life.

• ​

• Drugs Education - this teaches children the facts about legal and illegal harmful substances and the associated risks, including smoking, alcohol use and drug-taking.

• ​

• Sex Education - this is taught to our oldest children in Year 6 and will teach conception and the physical act of sex.

• ​

• Other Subjects - other elements of our PSHE programme will be taught through subjects such as: Science (human body and reproduction); Computing (internet safety) and PE (importance of keeping healthy) as well as teaching using opportunities throughout the school reinforce key concepts.​​
