Personal, Social and Health Education
Subject Leader: Mrs Carter
Our PSHE Intent
The PSHE curriculum at Martin Frobisher Infants is taught through our One Life programme following a deliberately planned and carefully sequenced curriculum which goes above and beyond the Department for Education’s statutory guidance. Through One Life, PSHE content is broken down into 3 strands: Mental Fitness; Physical Fitness and Social Fitness. We are passionate in our belief that, for our children to grow into happy, healthy and well-rounded young people and adults, we must teach them, explicitly, how to develop mentally, physically and socially in an age appropriate way.
Our PSHE curriculum enables children to develop skills which support them in becoming happy, healthy, independent and responsible members of society. Within the teaching of PSHE we also cover the social, moral and cultural aspects of living in modern Britain and the wider world today which equips children with strategies to overcome difficulties they may encounter as they grow up.
Relationships, Sex and Health Education
RSHE became statutory for all schools to teach from September 2020. As an infant school we have made the decision to remove the Sex Education element from our curriculum and include the Relationships and Health Education aspects within our PSHE curriculum.

The DFE have also produced a useful guide for parents which may help answer any questions you may have. If you have any further questions please speak to your child's class teacher or contact the school office to speak to Mrs L Carter.
