PHRSE (PHSE and RSE)
The PHRSE curriculum offers students (both individually and collaboratively) the opportunity to communicate, share and express their individual creativity, independence, resilience, and self-awareness, while providing them with the knowledge, fundamental skills, techniques and attributes needed to manage their lives both now and in the future. It helps students learn about how to stay healthy and safe whilst also learning and practising well-being. Effective relationship and sex education is essential if young people are to make responsible, well-informed and appropriate decisions about their lives. At Treloar School, we wish to support our young people by helping them learn to respect themselves and others and move with confidence from childhood through adolescence into adulthood.
The objective of PHRSE is to help and support young people through their physical, emotional and moral development. It will not be delivered in isolation but by a holistic approach across the School (including input and support from residential, nursing and therapy staff). Further aims of PHRSE in the School and in students’ lives are:
- To enable students to reflect on their attitudes, values and skills
- To create opportunities for students to analyse, reflect, speculate, discuss and argue constructively about their understanding of real-world issues
- To provide opportunities where students can apply key skills to enhance their understanding of PSHE concepts, positive attitudes and values
- To empower students to participate in the School and their communities as active responsible citizens locally, nationally and globally
- To encourage students to use and understand appropriate social, emotional and behavioural vocabulary to communicate ideas
- To develop students’ critical reflection, enjoyment, curiosity, perseverance, co-operation, turn taking, creativity, inventiveness, open-mindedness and willingness to tolerate uncertainty
- To develop students’ self-esteem and sense of personal responsibility
- To promote self-respect, respect for others and celebrate diversity
- To equip students to live safe, healthy lives
- To provide education for economic well-being and financial capability to equip students with the knowledge, skills and attributes to make the most of changing opportunities in learning and work
- To prepares students for the choices and opportunities of lifelong learning
- To foster positive attitudes and behaviour towards the principles of sustainable development and global citizenship
- To prepare students for the challenges, choices and responsibilities of work and adult life
Treloar School provides learning opportunities for all students within the three core areas of PSHE: Statutory Health Education, Statutory Relationships (for Primary) and Relationships and Sex Education (for Secondary) and Living In The Wider World (incorporating the Citizenship National Curriculum). These opportunities are delivered in the context of the ‘PSHE Association Programme of Study’ and ‘PSHE Association Planning Framework for Students with SEND’.
