Relationship Sex and Education

Relationship Sex and Education is lifelong learning about sex, sexuality, emotions and healthy relationships. The aim of the Relationship Sex and Education is to educate our children so that they make responsible and well informed decisions about their lives. It is to help and support young people through their physical, emotional and moral development, so that they learn to respect both themselves and others as they move through life from childhood through to adolescence and finally adulthood. It is not delivered in isolation, rather it makes up part of both the Science and PSHEE curriculum. Effective Relationship Sex and Education does not encourage early sexual experimentation, rather it encourages children to gain confidence and self-esteem and understand the reasons for delaying sexual activity.

The children are given opportunities to work in gender specific groups during this time, as this enables the children to ask questions which they may feel embarrassed to ask in front of a large group. The children are also supplied with a sealed question box, so they can put anonymous questions in there. The teacher will endeavour to answer all those questions which are reasonable and appropriate.

The Relationship Sex and Education is adapted each year, depending on the needs of the children.

Whole School Staying Safe Programme

This unit of work is presented separately due to the importance of safety work within the curriculum, including Child Protection.  Particular attention is given to the safe use of technology and is incorporated wherever possible as well as in the more formal dedicated lessons in ICT and PSHEE. Issues around cyberbullying are raised regularly both in class discussions and when the safety circles/networks are revisited each term. In this section we consider staying safe work throughout the whole school.

​

This unit of the PSHEE aims to give the children the knowledge, understanding and skills they need to keep themselves safe.  It is based on Cambridgeshire County Council’s Personal Development Program as recommended by the NSPCC. The curriculum is delivered using a range of methods such as role play, story and discussion. The teacher is the facilitator, guiding the lesson and ensuring the key teaching points are covered, but the ideas come from the children themselves. Personal Safety work also runs through other areas of the PSHEE Curriculum such as Drugs Education and Sex and Relationship Education.

​

Some aspects of the Staying Safe curriculum, such as ‘Worries’ and Internet Safety are revisited formally each term, but they are also incorporated more informally into all the work we do in PSHEE.

​

The Safety Circle forms the basis for all the work we do with regard to Personal Safety and to this end, it is revisited on a termly basis.  It is a key activity which is undertaken by all the children, in which they identify and record all the adults who they can turn to for help or reassurance if they have a worry. There is also a lot of discussion around what will happen to the worry once it has been shared with an adult. It is important that the children understand that an adult has a duty of care to protect a child and this may involve sharing the information with parents, the Headmistress and in some cases outside agencies, in order to ensure the safety of the child. It is revisited each term for two main reasons. Firstly, it reminds the children that we care about their worries whatever they may be, and it highlights their need to deal with any worries they may have. Secondly it allows them to review their choice of adult in the safety circle/ network should they wish to do so. It is important to bear in mind that the children should feel no pressure to include who we, as adults, see as the obvious choices. (e.g. a parent or teacher) Indeed, there may be times when a child needs to turn to an adult stranger for help, so it is important that personal safety work does not make a child fearful of all strangers, but rather allows them to seek out the safest way to get help when needed.

​

The remainder of the Staying Safe curriculum is taught using the themes:

• All About Me

• Looking After Myself

• Out and About

• Bullying Behaviour & Cyberbullying

• Secrets & Telling
