Relationship, Health and Sex Education
At Stanley Road Primary School, we define Relationships Education as lifelong learning about personal, physical, moral and emotional development. It is about the understanding of the importance of stable and loving relationships, respect, love and care, for family life, friendships and other relationships. It also involves acquiring information, developing and forming positive beliefs, values and attitudes that help to form and maintain healthy relationships and connections. We feel it is appropriate for there to be a strong emphasis on Relationships Education in primary phase education.
Our RSE curriculum is delivered using the Scarf scheme of learning provided by Coram Life Education, with some supplemented lessons from NSPCC. (A full break down of curriculum content can be found in the appendices of our RSE policy) As part of the statutory requirements for Relationships Education, all primary schools must have in place a written policy for Relationships Education (& Sex Education). Please find a link to our school RSE policy at the bottom of this page.
We believe that our RSE curriculum not only meets all government requirements but is also right for the children of Stanley Road Primary School as we aim to support our children as they grow into life in modern Britain.
“Children and young people need knowledge and skills that will enable them to make informed and ethical decisions about their wellbeing, health and relationships. High quality, evidence-based teaching of relationships, sex and health education (RSHE) can help prepare pupils for the opportunities and responsibilities of adult life, and can promote their moral, social, mental and physical development.”
