RHE; Relationships & Health Education

Our curriculum for Personal, Social, Emotional, Health & Relationships (PSEHR) Education

The Government has issued new guidance related to the teaching of LGBT+ characteristics. From previous parent consultations we have taken the view to not include this in our Personal, Social, Emotional, Health & Relationships Education programme of learning.

 WE DO NOT TEACH SEX EDUCATION at Shenton Primary School.

This is left to secondary schools to complete as per national guidance.

We do however, as part of the science National Curriculum, teach children in Year 6 about puberty. As parents you will receive a letter stating exactly what we will be covering. The lessons are taught to girls and boys separately to avoid unnecessary embarrassment and allow the children to ask any questions they may have. The lessons are focussed on understanding how our bodies change during puberty, so they are better prepared for this stage in their lives.
