RSE

Relationships, Health and Sex Education (RSE)

Priors Hall RSE Statement

At Priors Hall ALC, we acknowledge that every child is entitled to receive RSE regardless of ethnicity, gender, religion, age, culture, disability, sexuality, language ability, special needs, disadvantaged and looked after children, as per DfE guidance. It is our intention that all children have the opportunity to develop skills in order to empower them to make positive decisions in their lives.

Our RSE curriculum

PSHE lessons, which includes all of the Relationships and Health Education, are categorised into four key themes, that we return to progressively in each year group, making pupils’ prior and future learning clear. Topics include:

  • myHappymind – core theme
  • myHappybody – Core Theme 1 – Health & Wellbeing
  • myHappyrelationships – Core Theme 2 – Relationships
  • myHappyworld – Core Theme 3 – Living in the wider world

The Sex Education elements of our offer are supplemented from the Kapow programme of study.

Relationships Education

Relationships Education in primary schools will cover: ‘families and people who care for me’, ‘caring friendships’, ‘respectful relationships’, ‘online relationships’ and ‘being safe’ (DfE, 2019).

Health Education

Health Education in primary schools will cover ‘mental wellbeing’, ‘internet safety and harms’, ‘physical health and fitness’, ‘healthy eating’, ‘drugs and alcohol and tobacco’, ‘health and prevention’, ‘basic first aid’ and ‘changing adolescent body’ (DfE, 2019).

Sex Education

Sex Education is not compulsory beyond the national curriculum for science in primary schools, whereas Relationship and Health Education are. Here at Priors Hall, we do intend to teach Sex Education as part of our PSHE lessons.

We follow Kapow schemes of learning and adapt them to the needs of our children. Click the links below to see useful documents, including a parent guide and the content overview.
