RSHE

Aim

RSHE curriculum aims to build the fundamental building blocks and characteristics of positive relationships with particular reference to friendships, family relationships and relationships with other children and with adults. We aim to teacher all children what a relationship is, what friendship is, what family means, and who the people that can support them is. Pupils will be taught from early years and beyond to take turns, treat each other with kindness, consideration and kindness, the importance of honesty and truthfulness, permission seeking and giving and the concept of personal privacy.

Our curriculum will teach children about establishing personal space and boundaries, showing respect and understanding the differences between appropriate and inappropriate or unsafe physical or other contact. Children will be taught the principles of positive relationships and how they apply to online safety. We are committed to teaching children the importance of self-respect and self-worth and to develop personal attributes including honesty, integrity, courage, humility, kindness, generosity, trustworthiness and a sense of justice.

Pupils will be taught about emotional and mental wellbeing, including how friendships can support mental wellbeing. Pupils will be taught to recognise and to report abuse, including emotional and physical abuse. They will be taught about boundaries and right over their own bodies.

Our children will be taught about the importance of good physical, health and mental wellbeing. Pupils will be taught the essence of daily exercise, good nutrition and sufficient sleep; they will be given the language to understand the normal range of emotions that everyone experiences.

Note that Health, Relationships and Changing Me will be taught in the second half of the spring term and in the summer term.
