MANOR CE ACADEMY IS PART OF

PHSE

The PSHE Curriculum at Manor, including Relationships and Sex Education

As a part of your child’s education at Manor CE Academy, we promote personal wellbeing and development through a comprehensive Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education programme. PSHE education is the curriculum subject that gives young people the knowledge, understanding, strategies and practical skills to live safe, healthy, productive lives and meet their full potential. 

The majority of the PSHE education became statutory in September 2020 under the Children and Social Work Act. The Act introduced compulsory Relationships and Sex Education in secondary school, as well as Health Education (both mental and physical). We also cover important content about careers, economic wellbeing and personal safety. 

Our intent at Manor CE Academy is to ensure that our pupils: 

‘Serve others, grow together and live life to the full.’
(School vision)

We believe that our Christian foundation influences all that we do, including our PSHE programme. We want each of our young people to be encouraged to develop Christian values, as seen throughout the Bible, to be gracious, compassionate, loyal, patient, kind, forgiving and just, in order to live successfully and safely within our world. Therefore, as a school we are committed to ensuring our pupils can achieve this, by equipping pupils with the tools to do this in school, in their local communities and in the wider world. 

PSHE education is currently taught throughout the school through our Live Life Well Programme.

What is the Live Life Well programme?

Our Live Life Well programme consists of:

  • PSHE (Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education) 
  • RSE (Relationships Education and Sex Education)
  • Careers Education 
  • Citizenship 

We teach this across the following: 

  • For an hour, each week, as part of the main curriculum for Year 11
  • On rotation for Years 7-9, so pupils have an hour a week for one term per year
  • 3 drop down days a year
  • Collective Worship
  • Form Time Activities
  • Cross Curricular Activities 

All PSHE teaching takes place in a safe and respectful learning environment and is underpinned by our school ethos and values.

Relationships and Sex Education

To embrace the challenges of creating a happy and successful adult life, pupils need knowledge that will enable them to make informed decisions about their wellbeing, health and relationships and to build their self-efficacy. Pupils can also put this knowledge into practice as they develop the capacity to make sound decisions when facing risks, challenges and complex contexts. Everyone faces difficult situations in their lives. PSHE including Relationships, Health and Sex education can support young people to develop resilience, to know how and when to ask for help, and to know where to access support.

As a school, we are required by law to teach statutory relationships education and health education.

The right of withdrawal regarding sex education, taught outside of the Statutory Science curriculum

Parents/carers will not be able to withdraw their child from any aspect of the Relationships Education or Health Education as this is statutory, However, parents/carers can withdraw their child (following discussion with the school) from any or all aspects of Sex Education, other than those which are part of the science curriculum, up to and until three terms before the age of 16.  If you wish to explore withdrawing your child from sex education only, please contact the school to make an appointment with the Principal.
