Teacher Pack: KS1 PSHE/RSE

A planning companion for KS1 PSHE/RSE. Maps the pack to the statutory DfE 2020 (and 2025 update) RSHE guidance, clarifies what is and isn’t covered at KS1 (no sex education; the changing adolescent body is KS2), explains parental withdrawal rights (which apply only to sex education at primary — relationships and health education cannot be withdrawn from), and provides a 6-lesson scheme. Most importantly: a clear disclosure procedure for what to do if a pupil discloses something during a PSHE lesson — including the absolute rule that you cannot keep a child’s safeguarding disclosure confidential and must tell the school’s DSL the same day.
