RSE

Curriculum Overview

The intent of our Relationships and Sex Education is to help and support young people through their physical, emotional and moral development.

RSE is embedded and delivered through our PSHE curriculum which is based on the PSHE association programme of study as well as being promoted through a range of curriculum areas and other school life experiences. We aim to help young people learn to respect themselves and others; and move with confidence from childhood, through adolescence into adulthood.
