Our Intent

At Brookland Junior School, our PSHE (Personal, Social, Health Education) curriculum helps children and young people stay healthy, safe and be prepared for life. We aim to provide all of our pupils with the initial building blocks necessary to embrace challenges. PSHE is central to all aspects of pupil learning, both in the classroom and beyond. It is taught both as timetabled weekly lessons and across the school day in every aspect of school life.

Our PSHE and RSE Curriculum set out to provide pupils with invaluable knowledge that will help them to make informed decisions about their wellbeing and teach them the fundamental characteristics of healthy relationships.

PSHE links in every way to our key Brookland values of being kind, respectful and the best you can be, and our children are able to discuss and live these values through our PSHE curriculum.

Relationships and sex education is learning about the emotional, social and physical aspects of growing up, relationships, sex, human sexuality and sexual health. Some aspects are taught in science and others are taught as part of personal, social, health and economic education (PSHE).

Unicef Rights of the Child

Brookland Junior School is a Gold accredited Rights Respecting School.  These rights are woven in throughout our curriculum and our children are able to discuss their rights and how to be sure these rights are upheld for and by everyone in our school community.  Every week we celebrate children who have shown their commitment to these rights in our Celebration Assembly.
