Personal Social and Health Education

Personal Social and Health Education Vision Statement

Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) and Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) at Linton Mead place learning within real‑life contexts that shape our children’s experiences. PSHE and RSHE are embedded across the curriculum and supported by a healthy, citizenship‑rich, extended and sustainable school environment. All members of the Linton Mead community model the behaviours and values that enrich and reinforce learning through a cross‑curricular approach.

We ensure children understand their rights and responsibilities as citizens through the British values of democracy, liberty, the rule of law, respect and tolerance. We develop the attitudes, values and understanding that enable our children to become responsible members of society.

This approach supports children to make informed decisions, take opportunities that promote happy, healthy and fulfilled lives, and develop a strong sense of citizenship within the community—both now and in the future.

At Linton Mead, we use the Kapow Primary scheme to teach PSHE and RSHE. Kapow Primary is an online resource designed to help educators deliver specialist subjects with confidence. We use it exclusively for RSHE/PSHE. It supports consistency across the curriculum and provides staff with lesson plans, resources and tutorial videos, giving everyone the confidence and skills to teach RSHE in line with statutory requirements.

Kapow Primary’s RSHE scheme follows a spiral curriculum, meaning key areas are revisited and further developed as pupils move through the school. Pupils revisit the five key areas throughout KS1 and KS2. Each revisit builds greater depth and maturity, enabling pupils to use prior knowledge as a foundation rather than starting again.
