PSHE & RSE
Intent
"My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you."- John 15:12
"A curriculum for life."- PSHE Association
At St. Bernadette’s, we are committed to the education of the whole child. We believe that a strong PSHE and RSE enables children to become healthier, more independent and more responsible members of society. They learn to appreciate what it means to be a positive member of a diverse and multicultural society. Indeed, the teaching of PSHE helps in many ways to meet the objectives set out in the Children’s Act 2004 (Every Child Matters) – “to be healthy, stay safe, enjoy and achieve, make a positive contribution, and achieve economic well–being”.
Our approach to RSE is rooted in the Catholic Church’s teaching of the human person and presented in a positive framework of Christian ideals. Following the guidance, set out by the Bishops of England and Wales and the DfE, we are ensuring that in St Bernadette’s, RSE is firmly embedded in the PSHE framework as it is concerned with nurturing human wholeness and integral to the physical, spiritual, emotional, moral, social and intellectual development of pupils.
