Curriculum

RPHSE

AMBITION

Healthy, Happy & Safe

Relationships Education – a compulsory curriculum area – is designed to help children grow up healthy, happy and safe, preparing them for their adult lives. Relationships teaching also aims to:

  • Equip children with the necessary knowledge and skills to make informed choices about their wellbeing, health and relationships
  • Support children to manage the challenges and opportunities of modern Britain

Also included within this curriculum area is the opportunity to learn about equality and diversity, using appropriate language. By the time children finish primary school, they will have been taught about family and relationships including:

  • Family and people who care for them
  • Caring friendships
  • Respectful relationships
  • Online relationships
  • Being safe

As part of the RPHSE curriculum children also learn about:

  • Safety & the Changing Body
  • Economic Wellbeing
  • Health & Wellbeing
  • Citizenship

IMPLEMENTATION

Building Knowledge & Understanding

We teach RPHSE weekly, covering different themes across the term. Children work on all areas throughout the year, building knowledge and understanding, and we revisit termly to consolidate and embed learning.

The school consulted parents on our Relationship Education policy in Spring 2021, and following this, our policy was approved. The consultation agreed that at Preston Hedges, we would teach only the statutory Relationships & Health Education, and not cover the Sex Education elements that are non-statutory. Please see the DfE link for further information regarding statutory and non-statutory curriculum elements here

Please see the  Trust Policy and Curriculum documents below for further clarification:
