At Mansfield Green E-ACT Primary Academy, our PSHE Education (Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education) is a planned programme of learning through which children and young people acquire the knowledge, understanding and skills they need to successfully manage their lives – now and in the future. As part of our whole-school approach, PSHE Education develops the qualities and attributes pupils need to thrive as individuals, family members and members of society.
The National Curriculum states that every school needs to have a broad and balanced curriculum that:
- promotes the spiritual, moral, social, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils at the school;
- prepares pupils at the school for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life;
- promotes British values.
To support our PSHE curriculum delivery, we use a resource called Jigsaw. It is aimed specifically at primary children and offers a comprehensive programme for Primary PSHE including statutory Relationships and Health Education, through a clear progression of lessons. There is a strong emphasis on emotional literacy, building resilience and nurturing mental and physical health.

Relationships Education
At a primary school level, relationships education teaches children a wealth of information about healthy relationships, including how to communicate their own boundaries and recognise the boundaries of others, staying safe online, and the differences between appropriate and inappropriate or unsafe contact.
Our programme is tailored to the age and physical and emotional maturity of the pupils, and it prepares our older children for the changes that take place (drawing on the knowledge of the human life cycle from the National Curriculum for Science).
We recognise the need to balance statutory guidelines and parental views when teaching SRE. We have amended the curriculum to ensure key vocabulary and concepts are taught in a sensitive, appropriate manner.
Meetings were held with parents to share the PSHE curriculum Autumn 2023 and any elements that of the Jigsaw scheme that would be replaced.
