RSE CURRICULUM

Our Relationships and Sex education is covered through Jigsaw PSHE lessons and through Science lessons in KS1. Children learn about safe and healthy relationships, the life cycle of mammals, including humans, to correctly name parts of their bodies and to learn that they are in control of their body and their choices and are supported in saying ‘No’ and making their own decisions. Children learn who safe adults are and safe touch and that they own their body and can refuse physical contact that they do not like, such as hugging or holding hands.

Our RSE curriculum is designed to safeguard our children and provide them with valuable life skills to keep them safe and give them the confidence to make their own choices regarding their body and personal space.

Please see our school PSHE/RSE policy for more information.
