Introduction
We’ve worked closely with curriculum partners, subject experts and teachers on our interactive RSHE (PSHE) curriculum plan. You can also download the plan to use offline to help with your planning.
Our curriculum partner for RSHE (PHSE) is:
- primary and secondary: Life Lessons
Our RSHE (PSHE) is fully aligned with the updated statutory guidance coming into effect from September 2026 with input from the Department of Health and Social care, leading medical professionals and expert charities.
Meet our RSHE (PSHE) Subject Lead, Geoff Wells, and hear him talk about how the curriculum has already been updated to align with the new guidance, including updated content on women's health and gambling and new content on vaping and smoking.
Which RSHE (PSHE) curriculum plans are available?
We have the following English curriculum plans available to browse and download.
- RSHE (PSHE) KS1 and 2 unit sequences
- RSHE (PSHE) KS3 and KS4 unit sequences (covers all exam boards)
Unit sequences
You can view our curriculum sequence using the unit sequence tab. It will display the units available for each year group, how many lessons are available in a unit and a recommended order.
Click into a unit to see a description of 'why this, why now' and 'prior knowledge requirements' to help you consider the sequence of your current planning. You can move easily from units into lessons to understand lesson outcomes, helping you connect curriculum intent with classroom delivery.
You can also see how threads show common themes develop across an entire phase or filter the view to see a single year group.
Curriculum explainer
We've added a curriculum explainer to our RSHE (PSHE) curriculum to help you understand our thinking when we were making it with our curriculum partner.
For RSHE (PSHE) this will help you understand:
- our overarching curriculum approach and the subject principles we used
- how our curriculum reflects the aims and purpose of the national curriculum
- information on delivering it in your school
- how we use threads to provide curriculum coherence.
Downloading plans and the national curriculum alignment document
