PSHE
Through the study of RSE, our pupils will develop a knowledge and understanding of respect for themselves and others, learning about healthy and safe relationships within the special context of the identity of our school. We will provide the early building blocks that will enable our children to grow into successful adults in terms of being able to gain employment, live healthy lifestyles, be spiritually aware, be moral citizens and have the confidence to take opportunities to extend their horizons. Through our RSE curriculum we aim to equip children and young people with the information, skills and values which they will need to lead safe, fulfilling, enjoyable relationships (growth) and which will help them go on, beyond primary school, to take responsibility for their sexual health and wellbeing.
Children will learn subject specific vocabulary relating to their year group, this can be accessed by clicking on this document:
