Relationship, Sex and Health Education
Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHE) and Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE)
At Kingswood Parks Primary School, PSHE and RSHE are taught as an important part of our curriculum and play a key role in supporting pupils’ personal development, wellbeing and preparation for life in modern Britain.
Our curriculum is delivered in line with statutory Department for Education requirements and helps pupils to develop the knowledge, skills and understanding they need to build positive relationships, keep themselves safe, understand physical and mental health, and become responsible, respectful and active members of society.
We are committed to ensuring that all learning is age appropriate, inclusive and sensitive to the needs of our pupils. Teaching takes account of pupils’ stage of development, physical and emotional maturity, religious and cultural backgrounds, and any special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
Our RSHE Policy has been developed in consultation with parents and carers, and we value the ongoing partnership between home and school in supporting children’s personal development. Parents and carers are encouraged to review the policy and curriculum information available on this page and to contact the school with any questions.
In primary schools, Relationships Education and Health Education are statutory. Any non-statutory sex education is taught in an age-appropriate way and parents have the right to request that their child be withdrawn from these specific elements of the curriculum.
