How does this document assist schools in meeting the DfE’s statutory RSE and Health education guidance requirements?

In 2019 the Department for Education published statutory guidance about what should be covered in schools in terms of Relationships and sex education (RSE) and Health education.

This guidance listed a number of target statements for the end of primary school, grouped under the following RSE headings: Families and people who care for me; Caring friendships; Respectful relationships; Online relationships; Being safe.

For health education, the target statements fall under the following headings: Mental wellbeing; Internet safety and harms; Physical health and fitness; Healthy eating; Drugs, alcohol and tobacco; Health and prevention; Basic first aid; Changing adolescent body.

This document shows all these target statements and which lessons from the Kapow Primary RSE & PSHE scheme (Year 1 to Year 6) work towards these aims. It also highlights lessons which are included in our condensed curriculum offering. All these statements are met within our mixed-age planning as well.

This document has recently been updated to include cross-curricular links with our PSHE and RSE scheme.

To learn how Kapow Primary’s RSE & PSHE scheme maps to the PSHE Association programme of study, see: RSE & PSHE: Mapping to the PSHE Association’s programme of study.
