RSHE Curriculum
RSHE KS5 Curriculum Overview
What is the KS5 RSHE curriculum aiming to achieve? Our curriculum is challenging and ambitious and designed to give all students the knowledge and cultural capital they need to succeed in life beyond KS5. Our curriculum is planned and sequenced ensuring that topics are revisited. By the end of key stage 5, many young people will leave home for the first time and live independently, possibly in distant locations. There is a balance throughout this Programme of Study between preparing students to manage their current lives and laying the foundations for managing future experiences. As students progress through the key stages, this balance shifts towards teaching related to young people’s current experiences. The RSHE education programme in key stage 5 ensures students continue to learn about issues with real-life relevance to them, at a crucial transition point in their lives. The learning opportunities at key stage 5 assume that students have already covered those in key stage 4. However, students entering key stage 5 from different feeder schools may bring a range of experience and understanding, so learning opportunities in key stage 4 will be revisited and reinforced through learning that ‘connects’ it to contexts that are relevant to this age group, such as the workplace.
Our curriculum will ensure that students will enjoy challenge and will show thought and resilience when faced with application questions. Our curriculum empowers students to have a greater appreciation and awareness of related issues in the world around them.
