Year 4 PSHE addresses some of the most significant personal and social challenges pupils will encounter as they approach the upper stages of primary school. This year, statutory RSE content introduces puberty in careful, factual and age-appropriate terms, giving pupils the knowledge and language they need well before physical changes begin. Alongside this, pupils explore relationships in greater depth, develop their emotional literacy further, and begin to think critically about the information they encounter in media and advertising.
