Our curriculum is set out as per Appendix 1, but we may need to adapt it as and when necessary.
Primary sex education will focus on:
- Preparing boys and girls for the changes that adolescence brings
- How a baby is conceived and born
For more information about our curriculum, see our curriculum map in Appendices 1, 2 and 3.
At Millbrook Primary School and Nursery, RSE is taught through a PSHE program called ‘Jigsaw’. Jigsaw is taught to all children from Nursery through to Year 6, and each year has six focus areas (also known as puzzle pieces) which remain the same. These are as follows:
When taught | Focus Area/Puzzle Piece | Curriculum Area/s | Statutory? |
Autumn 1 | Being me in my world | PSHE | Yes |
Autumn 2 | Celebrating Difference | PSHE | Yes |
Spring 1 | Dreams and Goals | PSHE | Yes |
Spring 2 | Healthy Me | Heath Education | Yes |
Summer 1 | Relationships | PSHE/Relationship Education | Yes |
Summer 2 | Changing Me | PSHE Sex Education Science Health Education | Sex Education – No PSHE – Yes Science - Yes Health Education - Yes |
Although the focus areas remain the same each year, the content within these areas progress to match the children’s:
- Age
- Physical and emotional maturity
- Religious and cultural backgrounds (see section 11 for more detail).
- Special educational needs and disabilities (see section 8 for more detail).
