Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) is committed to supporting all children to grow up happy, healthy and safe, and to provide them with the knowledge they need to
manage the opportunities and challenges of modern Britain. Through RSHE children learn about relationships, diversity, respect, healthy lifestyles, safety, the body and how it
changes, reproduction and birth in a sensitive and age-appropriate way. This is aimed at building the foundation of skills and knowledge that will be developed further at a secondary level. Our key aim in providing RSHE is to safeguard our pupils. Pupil will learn key knowledge and skills to help keep them safe and prepare them for adult life.
Sex education for primary aged pupils is not compulsory. However, at Dringhouses Primary School, we understand that pupils must be provided with an education that prepares them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adult life and therefore we teach age-appropriate sex education lessons at Dringhouses on top of the statutory health and relationships lessons. RSHE lessons are taught as part of the PSHE curriculum and are integrated within this.
