We **tailor** and put **greater emphasis** on **particular themes,** in response to current and relevant issues/ risks that are **specific to our pupils and the local community/ area.** For example: - Peer influence – in response to the changes to KCSIE 2024 on child-on-child abuse and our pupils' needs. - Online risks – in response to an increase in younger pupils having mobile technology and accessing social media platforms that are not age appropriate. - Offline risks – in response to an increase in reports of criminal and sexual exploitation, domestic abuse and gang activity. - Diversity - in response to our pupils' needs, to encourage creativity, innovation, empathy, and social cohesion. Our **whole curriculum** is **comprehensibly planned** and **clearly sequenced** and is effectively adapted and developed to **meet the needs of ALL pupils**, including those with Special Educational Needs and/ or Disabilities and those that are disadvantaged. The lessons are predominantly based upon Oak National Academy's RSHE curriculum but are adapted to reflect the specific needs and contexts of our learners. Our PSHE curriculum is taught by the class teacher, who will first revisit prior learning. We return to **previous learning**, in order for pupils to **retrieve knowledge** from their **long-term memory** and **build on** this, with the introduction of **new knowledge.** This is through an **“I do, We Do, You do”** approach of **clear modelling** and **scaffolding** of new concepts. The pupils will then practise applying this knowledge in a group or individual task. We also encourage and provide opportunities for pupils to reflect on their own and others' beliefs and experiences through investigating moral and ethical issues. Our RHE and RSHE threads that weave through the primary curriculum are: - Community - Relationships - Online safety - Wellbeing - Growing up **PSHE Topic overview Year 1 – 6** For more information on what your child will be learning in PSHE, please see [RSHE (PSHE) Primary Unit Sequence](https://www.thenational.academy/teachers/programmes/rshe-pshe-primary/units) ![Harefield Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/harefield-primary-school-2/images/logo/logo-white.png) ### Harefield Primary School Yeovil Chase Bitterne Southampton SO18 5NZ 023 8046 3240 ### Quick Links - [Hamwic Education Trust](https://harefieldprimaryschool.net/our-school/hamwic-education-trust) - [Ivy School Dog](https://harefieldprimaryschool.net/our-school/ivy-our-school-dog) - [Admissions](https://harefieldprimaryschool.net/key-information/admissions) - [Ofsted Report](https://harefieldprimaryschool.net/key-information/ofsted) - [School Policies](https://harefieldprimaryschool.net/key-information/policies) ### Useful Links - [Term Dates](https://harefieldprimaryschool.net/parents/term-dates) - [Online Payments](https://harefieldprimaryschool.net/parents/online-payments) - [Pupil Voice](https://harefieldprimaryschool.net/children/pupil-voice) - [Online Safety](https://harefieldprimaryschool.net/children/online-safety) - [Wellbeing](https://harefieldprimaryschool.net/children/wellbeing) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/) - [X](https://x.com/) - [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/) © Copyright 2026 Harefield Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://harefieldprimaryschool.net/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
