PSHE / RSHE
Mrs A Wadley is the subject lead for PSHE / RSHE at Cottam.
As part of your child's educational experience at Cottam Primary School, we aim to promote personal well-being and development through a comprehensive taught programme of Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) Education that gives our children the knowledge, understanding, attitudes and practical skills to live healthy, safe, productive and fulfilled lives both now and in the future. The Department for Education has made changes to the Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) part of the PSHE programme and all schools are required to comply with the updated requirements.

Our RSHE programme is an integral part of our whole school PSHE educational provision. We will ensure the needs of all our pupils are met through ongoing and rigorous review and monitoring. Our programme will be delivered through a range of teaching methods and interactive activities.
Organisation of the PSHE / RSHE Curriculum
As a school we have the flexibility to deliver content in a way that is age and developmentally appropriate and sensitive to the needs and religious and cultural backgrounds of our children and families. We will continue to work closely with the PSHE Association to support us.
To support the delivery of our PSHE/RSHE curriculum, classes across school will be using 'Coram SCARF' and 'My Happy Mind'.
Coram Life Education & SCARF are the UK’s leading charity provider of PSHE and wellbeing education in primary schools. It is an up-to-date, whole school, fully comprehensive programme that fulfils all DfE statutory requirements for Relationships and Health Education.
SCARF’s whole-school approach supports primary schools in promoting positive behaviour, mental health, wellbeing, resilience and achievement.
