At Key Stage 1 and 2, the key knowledge progression document takes full account of the programme of study for PSHE education and uses the following strands:

• Health and Wellbeing

• Relationships

• Living in the Wider World

The above strands have been chosen above as they replicate the PSHE Association programme of study.

The statements in bold are from the RSE and Health Education statutory guidance.

The statement about FGM has been moved from Keeping Safe to Safe Relationships as we feel it sits within this strand where private body parts and permission are discussed.

Skills are dependent on specific knowledge. A skill is the capacity to perform or discuss and in order to do this a deep body of knowledge needs to be acquired and retained.

These knowledge statements should be what pupils retain forever. In other words, this knowledge is within their long-term memory and will be retained.

When considering pupils’ improvement in subject specific vocabulary, pupils could be provided with a knowledge organiser which contains the relevant words used for PSHE for their age group.
