St James' CE Primary School
Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education
The teaching of PSHE at St James’ Church of England Primary School encourages pupils to play a positive role in contributing to the life of the school and the wider community. In doing so we help develop their sense of self-worth. We teach them how society is organised and governed. We ensure that they experience the process of democracy in school (through, for example democratically elected Pupil Leadership Teams). We teach them about rights and responsibilities. They learn to appreciate what it means to be a positive member of a diverse multicultural society.
Through the PSHE curriculum, we aim for children to:
- Know and understand what constitutes a healthy lifestyle.
- Be aware of safety issues.
- Understand what makes for good relationships with others.
- Have respect for others.
- Be independent and responsible members of the school community.
- Be positive and active members of a democratic society.
- Develop self-confidence and self-esteem, and make informed choices regarding personal and social issues.
- Develop good relationships with other members of the school and the wider community.
Our PSHE curriculum is underpinned by on our vision, mission (RACE: Respect, Aspiration, Community, Enquiring Minds) and values. We follow the Jigsaw scheme for PSHE which we have adapted to meet the needs of our school community. Jigsaw, the mindful approach to PSHE, is a progressive and spiral scheme of learning. In planning the lessons, Jigsaw PSHE ensures that learning from previous years is revisited and extended, adding new concepts, knowledge and skills, year on year as appropriate. Explicit links to the DfE statutory Relationships and Health Education outcomes have been made in each Puzzle theme (see RHE information below).
Jigsaw holds children at its heart, and its cohesive vision helps children understand and value how they fit into and contribute to the world. With strong emphasis on emotional literacy, building resilience and nurturing mental and physical health, we deliver engaging and relevant PSHE within a whole-school approach. Jigsaw lessons also include mindfulness allowing children to advance their emotional awareness, concentration, focus and self-regulation. As a school, we recognise the value of quality texts to support learning in different curriculum areas and we have linked texts to half termly PSHE topics to strengthen and deepen learning and understanding (see table below).
‘PSHE education is a planned, developmental programme of learning through which children and young people acquire the knowledge, understanding and skills they need to manage their lives now and in the future. As part of a whole-school approach, PSHE education develops the qualities and attributes pupils need to thrive as individuals, family members and members of society.’

Relationship and Health Education
At St James’ Church of England Primary School, we value the importance of relationships and health education (RHE) as an integral part of our PSHE curriculum to help and support young people through their physical, moral, spiritual, cultural and emotional development. RHE involves learning about relationships, health, sexual health, sexuality, healthy lifestyles, diversity and personal identity. RHE involves a combination of sharing information, and exploring issues and values. RHE is not about the promotion of sexual activity.
The RHE programme at St James’ reflects the school vision, mission and values.
Aims
- To provide a framework in which sensitive discussions can take place.
- To prepare pupils for puberty, and give them an understanding of sexual development and the importance of health and hygiene.
- To help pupils develop feelings of self-respect, confidence and empathy.
- To create a positive culture around issues of sexuality and relationships.
- To teach pupils the correct vocabulary to describe themselves and their bodies.
The RHE curriculum is compulsory in primary schools (Sept 2020). We are also required to teach the elements of sex education contained in the science curriculum. Parents/Carers have the right to withdraw their children from the non-science aspects of RHE.
Science Key Stage 1. Children should learn to:
- Identify, name, draw and label the basic parts of the human body and say which part of the body is associated with each sense
- Notice that animals, including humans, have offspring which grow into adults
Science Key Stage 2. Children should learn to:
- Describe the changes as humans develop to old age (including puberty)
- Describe the differences in the life cycles of a mammal, an amphibian, an insect and a bird
- Describe the life process of reproduction in some plants and animals
- Recognise that living things produce offspring of the same kind, but normally offspring vary and are not identical to their parents

Information and Signposting
At our school we pride ourselves on being a supportive community where people support and listen to one another. It's good to talk and share your worries, different feelings are all part of growing up and the adults at school are there to listen to you.
Not everyone finds it easy to talk though, and school isn't open all of the time. Click on the image below to find out more about The Hive, a drop in cafe in Ashton on Wednesday evenings, where young people can talk to someone if they are worried or feeling down.
Another fantastic place to find advice and support around the clock is www.kooth.com.

Keeping Safe...
It is very important to know how to keep yourself safe. Watch this short video to remind yourself about the key 'Stranger Danger' messages. Make sure you tell your friends too.
Keeping safe on the railway
Travelling around on the train is brilliant but railway tracks can be very dangerous places so it is important to be safe. The British Transport Police have produced this leaflet to remind us about safety and security around railway tracks.
