Relationships and Health Education (RHE)

vision

Today’s children and young people are growing up in an increasingly complex world and living their lives seamlessly on and offline. This presents many positive and exciting opportunities, but also challenges and risks. In this environment, children and young people need to know how to be safe and healthy, and how to manage their personal and social lives in a positive way.

Our RHE curriculum is a sequenced, spiral programme that builds on prior learning as pupils progress through school. We aim for our children to achieve the following:

  • They will have personal attributes such as kindness, integrity, generosity, and honesty.
  • They will know the importance of respecting others and value diversity.
  • They will take responsibility for their actions.
  • They will have the knowledge and capability to take care of themselves and receive support if problems arise. 
  • They will develop resilience and character so that they can be happy, successful and productive members of society. 
  • They will believe that they can achieve goals  (both academic and personal) even when the reward is distant and can recover from knocks and challenging periods in their lives.  
  • They will have concern for the environment and know ways of having a sustainable future.
  • They will know about the characteristics of a healthy family life and that all families are different.
  • They will know the characteristics of a good friendship and how to resolve conflict without the use of violence or cruelty.
  • They will know how to recognise bullying and how to seek help.
  • They will know how to stay safe online.
  • They will recognise feelings of being unsafe and will have the vocabulary and confidence to report it.
  • They will know a range of vocabulary to discuss a range of emotions.
  • They will be able to judge if the way they are feeling is appropriate and proportionate. 
  • The will know a range of self-help techniques to promote mental wellbeing.
  • They will know the mental and physical benefits of a healthy lifestyle.
  • They will know the facts about legal and illegal harmful substances including smoking, alcohol use and drug-taking.
