PSHE education is an important part of your child's national curriculum learning. Schools have an important part to play in helping kids become well-rounded individuals.

Personal, social and health and economic education, or PSHE, aims to give children the knowledge, skills and understanding to lead confident, healthy and independent lives.

There are three core themes of primary school PSHE,

• Health and Wellbeing
• Relationships
• Living in the Wider World

RSHE stands for Relationships, Sex & Health Education. Relationships and health are usually covered in 'PSHE' lessons, in general everyday classroom learning, in assemblies and sometimes in science (e.g healthy eating).

Increasingly, learning about online safety touches on these issues also. Sex education is part of the science curriculum, and parts of PSHE too. RSHE is taught under the umbrella of PSHE.
