Our PSHCE Intent

Teaching Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) is an essential part of your child’s curriculum as they move through school. At Ramsey Spinning Infant and Ramsey Junior School  our main aim is to provide an effective, age-appropriate PSHE and RSHE education that meets the needs of all our pupils within an inclusive and supportive learning environment. We are completely committed to giving your children the skills, knowledge and values necessary, so they can be successful to live and learn safely in the modern world.

Our intention is that when children leave Ramsey Junior School they will do so with the knowledge, understanding and emotional capacity to be able to play an active, positive, and successful role in today’s diverse society. We want our children to have high aspirations, a belief in themselves and realise that anything is possible if they put their mind to it. In an ever–changing world, it is important that they are aware of the different factors which will affect their world and that they learn how to deal with these so that they can have good mental health and well-being.

RSHE at Ramsey is taught through the PSHE Jigsaw Scheme. The whole school follows the same theme every half- term pitched at the appropriate level for their class, age and maturity. Our curriculum builds on prior learning in each year group and results in the acquisition of knowledge and skills which will prepare the children to be a global citizen now and in their future roles as adults.  It promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils, preparing them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life. Our Relationships and Sex Education enables our children to learn how to keep themselves and others safe, and to understand and develop healthy relationships, both now and in their future lives. 

The themes are:-

Being Me in My World – Autumn 1

Celebrating Difference – Autumn 2

Dreams and Goals – Spring 1

Healthy Me – Spring 2

Relationships – Summer 1

Changing Me (RSHE Unit) – Summer 2

The vast majority of RSHE is compulsory. There is no right to withdraw from Relationships Education or Health Education. Parents and carers are only able to request that their child is excused from Sex Education, taught outside the national curriculum for science.

If a parent wishes for their child to be excused from some or all of the non-statutory Sex Education, they should put this in writing to Mrs Stroud , making it clear which aspects of the programme they do not wish their child to participate in.

Please look at the attached PowerPoint document  — 'The Parent Overview of RSHE at Ramsey' — for more information.
