Providing a broad and balanced RSE & PSHE curriculum

This user-friendly document shows how following Kapow Primary’s RSE & PSHE scheme of work supports children’s personal development, including spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) development and British values.

It explains the meaning and rationale of SMSC and maps Kapow Primary’s RSE & PSHE units to Ofsted’s SMSC descriptors. 

Furthermore, it shows which RSE & PSHE units support schools in promoting the core British values of Democracy, Rule of law, Individual liberty, Mutual respect and Tolerance.

Lastly, the document outlines which lesson plans and units provide opportunities for pupils to work towards the Personal development criteria used by Ofsted.
