Our RSE & PSHE scheme of work aims to help pupils develop the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to lead confident, healthy and fulfilling lives. The intention is for pupils to understand themselves and others, form positive relationships and make informed choices that support their wellbeing and the wellbeing of those around them.
The scheme encourages pupils to think with empathy, integrity and self-awareness, recognising how their actions and attitudes contribute to their communities. It supports them in developing respect for diversity, managing change and understanding their rights and responsibilities as citizens.
Kapow Primary’s RSE & PSHE curriculum is designed to build a strong foundation for safeguarding, preparing pupils to navigate an increasingly complex world with confidence and care. Lessons promote emotional literacy, resilience and a sense of personal agency, helping pupils to approach life’s challenges with maturity and compassion.
The scheme supports teachers by providing clear guidance, structured progression and engaging resources, enabling them to deliver sensitive topics with confidence. The curriculum is both accessible and ambitious, ensuring all pupils can participate fully and achieve their potential as kind, thoughtful and responsible individuals
