PSHE and RSE

 Heart, Health, and Happiness: Growing Together

Growing up has never been more exciting—or more complex. At Mappleborough Green, our mission is to ensure every child feels safe, heard, and inspired to learn about themselves and the world around them.
Our PSHE and RSE lessons are designed to be a "safe space" where we explore how to build kind friendships, stay safe online, and look after our bodies and minds. Through our integrated approach—combining Kapow, Protective Behaviours, and Zones of Regulation—we nurture the "whole child." We believe that when a child feels secure and understands their emotions, there is no limit to what they can achieve.
