Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHE) Relationships and Sex Education (RSE)
Our PSHE/ RSE Co-ordinator is Miss Sarah Black

At Amble Links Primary School, we are committed to providing high-quality Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education that supports your child's development and wellbeing throughout their time with us. 

PSHE Education offers learning opportunities and experiences which reflect the increasing independence and physical and social awareness of learner. They learn skills to develop effective relationships, assume greater personal responsibility and keep themselves safe.

At Amble Links Primary School our pupils are given opportunities in PSHE, lessons and assemblies  where we use the acclaimed Jigsaw scheme of work to develop confidence, self- motivation and an understanding of their rights and responsibilities within our diverse society. 

We teach PSHE in a variety of ways, as a discrete subject, through Jigsaw lessons, via whole school and class assemblies, and through other subjects included in our creative curriculum, as well as through outdoor educational visits, community work and activities.

RSHE 

Through our PSHE curriculm we deliver our Relationships, Sex and Health Education programme. We are currently reviewing our PSHE curriculum in line with the DfE's updated statutory guidance for Relationships, Sex and Health Education (published 2025, for implementation from September 2026). This is a positive opportunity to bring our curriculum content up to date in a changing world, whilst maintaining our age-appropriate focus on the core knowledge and essential skills that children need to navigate different aspects of their lives with confidence both in and beyond primary school.

At Amble Links, we use Jigsaw, the mindful approach to PSHE, as our comprehensive scheme of work. 

The programme consists of six half-term units (Puzzles): Being Me in My World, Celebrating Difference, Dreams and Goals, Healthy Me, Relationships and Changing Me. Each Puzzle contains lessons that build progressively through the school, developing children's emotional literacy, self-esteem, resilience and understanding of how to build positive, healthy relationships. Below you will find a whole school overview which shows how each lesson contributes to the 2025 RSHE staturory guidance aswell as detailed overviews for each puzzle piece. 

Consulation Process

Why do we consult on RSHE?

Sensitive subjects: The topics discussed in RSE can sometimes be sensitive. Consultation enables schools to consider different views and look for ways to accommodate these wherever possible.

Reassurance: Consultation provides an opportunity to explain what the school is actually teaching, and what it is not teaching.

Addressing concerns proactively, before teaching takes place, is far more effective than responding afterwards.

Shared responsibility: Children learn about relationships at home as well as at school. Keeping parents informed helps them prepare and support their child.

Confidence: Staff, governors and parents all need to feel comfortable discussing these topics.

The consulation process will involve the following steps:

• Review our current policies and review new guidance
• Update staff and governors
• Update our policy to refelct the new guidance
• Engage parents/carers
• Review feedback and coomicate finalised policy
