Why we should learn about PSHE and how it will help us in later life?
PSHE education is a school subject through which pupils develop the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to keep themselves healthy and safe, and prepare for life and work in modern Britain. Evidence shows that well-delivered PSHE programmes have an impact on both academic and non-academic outcomes for pupils, particularly the most vulnerable and disadvantaged.

Lessons are based around five main areas:
RSE
RSE stands for Relationships and Sex Education and it is part of the PSHE curriculum.
All aspects of RSE are taught in a sensitive, age-appropriate and developmentally appropriate way and delivered with reference to the law.
Aims of RSE at Blackmoor Park Junior School
Provide a framework in which sensitive discussions can take place.
Prepare pupils for puberty, and give them an understanding of sexual development and the importance of health and hygiene
