Relationship (Sex), Health Education (RSHE)
Why do we teach R(S)HE?
Today’s children and young people are growing up in an increasingly complex world. This presents many positive and exciting opportunities but also challenges and risks.
In this environment, children and young people need educating on how to be safe and healthy and how to manage their academic, personal and social lives in a positive way. We believe that this work is an important part of safeguarding children.
Below is a link to a digital version of a GLA parent information sharing session for you to watch to gain more knowledge and understanding about our programme, why we teach it, where it fits alongside our other compulsory subjects and how it is delivered.

The units the children will focus on, which will be picked up in more detail in the Junior school are:
- Personal and road safety.
- Saying no to bullying and restorative practice.
- Keeping healthy and being active.
- Medicines and keeping safe.
- Our bodies and what changes happen to them as we get older.
- The need for privacy and keeping our bodies safe.
