Homerswood continues to use the Jigsaw scheme of work to deliver the RSHE curriculum which ensures that we are delivering the statutory curriculum requirements. Staff and pupils are confident in using the Jigsaw scheme of work and plans are adapted to suit the individual needs of each class. The topics covered in the summer term are Relationships and Changing Me plus there are cross curricular links with other subjects such as science, PE and computing.

The Votes for Schools assemblies continue to compliment this curriculum and gives additional information and discussions to further support children’s learning and understanding of this subject. The VfS assemblies are delivered to all pupils (Year 1-6).

RSHE lessons are timetabled for each class, and topics/themes weave throughout school life. Alongside this, teachers/pupils respond to and learn about current events/themes that may occur within school or the wider community. Children’s individual learning is assessed through discussion activities and their recording of learning at the beginning and end of topics.

Next Steps:

Review new RSHE statutory guidance published July 2025.

Deliver the Beyond Gender Stereotype project in KS2 (training, delivering lesson plans, observing and monitoring, focus groups etc with the lead project group).

Continue to review scheme of work and ensure all topics are covering statutory requirements.

To continue to develop monitoring through:

• Lesson observations in the Autumn term

• Pupil/staff/parent voice

• Updated action plan.

Assessment data across the school shows 83% are working at ARE with a dip in Year 6, where 72% are working at ARE. Discussions with the subject leader and class teacher will take place to determine the reasons for this dip and strategies will be put in place to help to build the gaps in pupil knowledge for next term.

Next Steps:

Plan and deliver cross curricular initiatives and events for the whole school (walk to school week).
