PSHE and RSE
Vision
At Southbourne Juniors, our vision for PSHE and RSE is to provide a ‘Curriculum for Life’: an inclusive, meaningful programme that goes beyond statutory requirements to equip pupils with the knowledge, skills, confidence and values they need to navigate life’s challenges and opportunities. Co-created with pupils and parents, our curriculum reflects the needs of our school community and prepares our pupils to go out into the world and make a positive difference as global citizens, guided by kindness, empathy and respect.
We want pupils to develop not only as healthy and informed individuals, but also as confident, independent decision-makers with a strong moral compass who understand that they have agency over their own choices and actions. PSHE is therefore woven throughout school life, not limited to discrete lessons, and is underpinned by our ethos, vision and values. Our school community acts as a miniature version of the wider world, providing opportunities for pupils to practise positive relationships, appreciate differences and understand what it means to be an active and respectful member of a diverse society.
Our PSHE and RSE curriculum is about the present and the future: constantly evolving to respond to the needs of pupils in an ever-changing world and supporting pupils not only to build a successful future for themselves, but to lead the future for the human race and the society of tomorrow.
