Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) Education Programme

Dear Parents and Carers,
As a part of your child’s education at Broadoak Academy, we promote personal wellbeing and development through a comprehensive Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education programme. PSHE education is the curriculum subject that gives young people the knowledge, understanding, attitudes and practical skills to live safe, healthy, productive lives and meet their full potential.

I am writing to let you know that, this term, your child’s class will be taking part in lessons which will focus on the relationships and sex education (RSE) aspect of this programme. RSE lessons will include teaching about healthy relationships, including friendships and intimate relationships; families; growing and changing, including puberty; personal hygiene; changing feelings; becoming more independent; keeping safe and consent; developing self-esteem and confidence. Pupils will also have opportunities to ask questions only if they wish to do so. PSHE education is taught throughout the school in every year group and is monitored and reviewed regularly by the staff and governing body. Please click on the link for more detail about our PSHE curriculum. You can also find further information on our school website, https://broadoakacademy.clf.uk/subject-overview/pshe/

All PSHE teaching takes place in a safe learning environment and is underpinned by our school ethos and values. We work together to raise awareness and respect all viewpoints. As a school community, we are committed to working in partnership with parents. If you would like to find out more or discuss any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours sincerely,

Kayleigh Turk
