PSHE at Tudor
At Tudor School, we are committed to supporting our pupils in becoming happy, successful and confident individuals. We see PSHE as being at the centre of the teaching and leaning of our children, as there is a proven link between pupil's health and wellbeing and their academic progress. Crucial skills and positive attitudes developed through PSHE are critical to ensuring that children are effective learns. At Tudor, we use SCARF from Coram Life Education, which is a leading provider of relationships, health, well-being and drugs education. We use a whole-school approach from nursery to year 6, so that children can build on key skills year to year. The children's well-being is at the heart of our lessons and we incorporate the 'Five Ways to Wellbeing' (Connect, Be active, Take Notice, Keep Learning, Give) into every lesson as their well-being is fundamental to their health and overall happiness.

The Autumn Topics are
Me and My Relationships
Valuing Differences
As part of the 'Me and My Relationships' topic, the children will explore feelings and emotions, develop skills to manage conflict, identify special people and recognise the qualities of healthy friendships and how to manage them. As part of the 'Valuing Differences' topic, the children will develop their understanding of British Values, develop an understanding of the importance of respectful relationships with others, recognise bullying and know their responsibilities as a bystander.
Your child will receive a PSHE letter, at the start of the term, which outlines in more detail the specific learning within their year group, so you have the opportunity to discuss with them the important topics they are learning about.
RSHE at Tudor
From September 2020, the Department for Education made Relationships and Health Education compulsory for all primary aged children. Relationships, Health and Sex Education is about the emotional, social and cultural development of pupils, and involves learning about relationships, staying safe, respect, healthy lifestyles, diversity and personal identity. At Tudor our RSHE teaching is incorporated into our PSHE curriculum.
Whilst encouraging feedback and input from the parent community, we wrote the first draft of Tudor School's 'Relationship and Sex Education' policy in 2020 and it has also been further updated. We have now updated our policy in line with the updated RSHE statutory guidance, which is implemented from September 2026. This policy includes how RSHE is taught from Reception Class to Year 6. This policy was written in consultation with parents and carers, pupils, staff and the governing body. The policy can be found below
