At Wallop Primary School, our intent is to provide a high-quality PSHE and Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) curriculum that equips every child with the knowledge, skills, and values they need to lead confident, healthy, safe, and independent lives.

We aim to prepare our pupils to become responsible, respectful, and active citizens who understand how to form positive relationships, manage their emotions, and make informed decisions about their health and wellbeing, both now and in the future.

Our curriculum is designed to:

• Promote pupils’ spiritual, moral, social, and cultural development.
• Support the development of resilience, self-esteem, and emotional wellbeing.
• Help children understand the world around them, including British Values, equality, diversity, and inclusion.
• Ensure children are prepared for the opportunities, responsibilities, and experiences of life in modern Britain.
• Deliver statutory Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) in a sensitive, age-appropriate, and inclusive manner, in partnership with parents and carers.

We are committed to delivering inclusive and age-appropriate lessons that reflect our pupils’ needs, developmental stages, and the wider community.
