Relationships and Health Education

This is our whole school overview for RHE

From September 2020, the Government decided that all primary age children will be taught Relationships and Health Education (RHE).Relationships and Health Education is designed to equip children with knowledge to make informed decisions about their wellbeing, health and relationships as well as preparing them for a successful adult life.

In our school, we will deliver RHE – Relationships and Health Education.

The focus of our curriculum will be ensuring children are taught about respect and making positive choices with regards to all aspects of relationships and health. We believe this is crucial in preparing them for the next stage of their lives and education and will support them in making a positive contribution to society and their community.
