Intent

Our intention is that pupils are taught to be safe and healthy, and manage their academic, personal and social lives in a positive way.

The aims of Safety and Wellbeing (RSHE) at our school are to:

• Teach pupils about their rights and responsibilities in keeping themselves safe and healthy
• Help pupils develop feelings of self-respect, confidence and empathy
• Teach pupils the correct vocabulary to describe themselves and their bodies
• Prepare pupils for puberty, and give them an understanding of sexual development and the importance of health and hygiene
• Create a positive culture around issues of relationships

Implementation

RSHE is taught fortnightly by the class teacher. In school, we refer to RSHE as Safety and Wellbeing and our lessons focus on teaching children about safety and health in all aspects of their lives, from physical and emotional wellbeing to their relationships with others.

At Langley Green Primary School, we follow the West Sussex Education 4 Safeguarding Curriculum, which is based around four cornerstones: Emotional Health and Wellbeing, Physical Health and Wellbeing, Digital and Media Literacy and Relationships and Sex Education. Each cornerstone includes some aspects of both Relationships Education and Health Education outlined in the DfE Statutory Guidance.

The Education 4 Safeguarding approach allows us to select appropriate content for the needs of our pupils, identified through consultation with pupils, staff, parents, governors and analysis of relevant local data.
