Why teach RHE in school?

Ofsted Review into Harmful Sexual Behavior in Schools RSHE as part of the solution ►Following the deaths of Sara Everard and Sabina Nessa last year, there has been a greater focus on protecting girls and women from violence and harm. ►In April 2021, Ofsted were asked to review the extent of ‘peer-to- peer’ sexual abuse or Harmful Sexual Behaviour in schools in. ► Consider the safeguarding protocols and how RSHE could be used to tackle the issue as part of a whole school approach. ►Healthy relationships and consent should be paramount to an effective RSHE curriculum.

Where do children and young people learn?

Magazines

Music videos Gaming Siblings

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions: How will I know when these topics are being taught?

Healthy relationships is integrated to the whole curriculum but we do cover this in greater detail in the relationships topic of the summer term. It will be communicated to parents, that these lessons are beginning.

What is my religious beliefs are different to the messages taught in the curriculum?

The curriculum ensures young people can develop safe and healthy relationships. We encourage young people to be aware and accepting of differences so they are prepared for the range of people they will meet. Love and caring relationships is at the core of teachings on family.

Frequently Asked Questions: Can I see the resources being used in class?

Of course, all resources are on our school website. If you have any questions please speak to Ms Flynn, Ms Wright or Ms Mulvany.

What if I choose to withdraw my child?

Under the new guidance, there is only one lesson in year 6 that is sex education and this is the only lesson you can withdraw your child from. All relationships and health education taught from Reception to Year 6 is statutory. Please make your intention to withdraw your child from this lesson clear to your child’s teacher, your child will remain in school but work alternatively for that lesson.
