Relationships & Health Education

RHE

At Lady Bay, we teach Relationship and Health Education (RHE) as a whole-school approach, which is an embedded part of our broad and balanced curriculum.

Pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is at the heart of our school ethos. British Values are promoted through the overarching aims and objectives of RHE by supporting our children to become healthy and responsible members of society, as well as preparing them for life and work in modern Britain.

The Jigsaw Programme offers us a comprehensive, carefully thought-through Scheme of Work which brings consistency and progression to our children’s learning in this vital curriculum area.

RHE Statement of Intent

At Lady Bay Primary School, Relationship and Health Education (RHE) enables our children to become healthy, independent and responsible members of a society. It aims to help them understand how they are developing personally and socially, and tackles many of the moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up. We provide our children with opportunities for them to learn about rights and responsibilities and appreciate what it means to be a member of a diverse society. Our children are encouraged to develop their sense of self-worth by playing a positive role in contributing to school life and the wider community.

Today’s children and young people are growing up in a rapidly changing world; full of opportunities but with few guarantees. At Lady Bay, we believe that RHE education prepares pupils for life and work in this changing world, helping to keep them safe, healthy and boosting their life chances.

The children’s learning in RHE will help them to protect themselves and others both online and offline, improve their physical and emotional health and develop character, resilience and academic attainment.
