RSHE Curriculum Statement

RSHE (Relationships, Sex and Health Education) is embedded throughout our curriculum in all year groups (particularly through Science: healthy eating and ICT: E-Safety). In addition it is taught as a discrete subject weekly. Topics are taken from the SEAL scheme of work, G & M scheme and the Brighton and Hove syllabus, and cover 9 themes. It aims to help children understand how they are developing personally and socially, and tackles many of the moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up. We provide our children with opportunities to learn about rights and responsibilities and appreciate what it means to be a member of a diverse society. Our children are encouraged to develop their sense of self-worth by playing a positive role in contributing to school life and the wider community.
