Twinkl Life - Our PSHE and RSHE Curriculum

We want all children to grow up healthy, happy, safe, and able to manage the challenges and
opportunities of modern Britain. That is why, from September 2020, all primary age children will be taught Relationships and Health Education, alongside PSHE.

These subjects are designed to equip your child with knowledge to make informed decisions about
their wellbeing, health and relationships as well as preparing them for a successful adult life. 

Relationships Education

Relationships Education will put in place the building blocks needed for positive and safe relationships, including with family, friends and online. Your child will be taught what a relationship is, what friendship is, what family means and who can support them. In an age-appropriate way, we will cover how to treat each other with kindness, consideration and respect.

Health Education

Health education aims to give your child the information they need to make good decisions about their own health and wellbeing, to recognise issues in themselves and others, and to seek support as early as possible when issues arise. 

Your Rights As A Parent

The important lessons you teach your child about healthy relationships, looking after themselves and staying safe, are respected and valued under this curriculum. Teaching at school will complement and reinforce the lessons you teach your child as they grow up. When developing and renewing our curriculum and policies on Relationships Education, you will be consulted. Policy is published online and available to anybody free of charge.
You can express your opinion, and this will help us decide how and when to cover the content of the statutory guidance.

Right To Withdraw Your Child
You cannot withdraw your child from Relationships Education because it is important that all children receive this content, covering topics such as friendships and how to stay safe. If you do not want your child to take part in some or all of the lessons on Sex Education, you can ask that they are withdrawn. The science curriculum in all maintained schools also includes content on human development, including reproduction, which there is no right to withdraw from.
