PSHE
Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education is a school subject through which pupils develop the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to manage their lives, both now and in the future.
These skills and attributes help pupils to stay healthy and safe, and prepare them for life and work in modern Britain. When taught well, PSHE education helps pupils to achieve their academic potential and leave school equipped with the skills they will need throughout later life.
RSHE
RSE – Relationships and Sex Education

Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) helps pupils develop the knowledge and understanding they need to build positive relationships, make informed decisions, and stay healthy and safe.
Secretary of State Foreword
Today’s children and young people are growing up in an increasingly complex world and living their lives seamlessly on and offline. This presents many positive and exciting opportunities, but also challenges and risks. In this environment, children and young people need to know how to be safe and healthy, and how to manage their academic, personal and social lives in a positive way. This is why we have made Relationships Education compulsory in all primary schools in England and Relationships and Sex Education compulsory in all secondary schools, as well as making Health Education compulsory in all state-funded schools.
For more information, please read our Relationships and Sex Education Policy, which can be found under ‘Trust Primary School Policies’ on our policies page.
