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 academic, personal and social lives in a positive way. This is why Relationships

Education is compulsory in all primary schools.

Our Relationships, Sex and Health Education learning and development is vital in ensuring the children:
understand how to be a healthy individual (with regard to mental wellbeing and physical health);
understand quality and fulfilling friendships, families and relationships; have an understanding of the
positives of both the offline world and the online world we live in. We aim for all of the children to
understand how to remain positive, safe and forward-thinking both now through their school journey
and to set these foundations for their future lives.

To ensure we have a consistent approach to teach the core aspects of the Relationships Education curriculum, we follow the Christopher Winter Project for RSHE. When creating the RSHE Curriculum, parents and carers were invited to engage in a consultation where the policy, curriculum content and teaching resources were shared. As well as being taught discretely, our RSHE curriculum is interwoven into our science, computing and physical education curricula.
