Relationships and Sex Education (RSE)

Important information about Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) this term:

 

 

In line with our RSE curriculum, this term your child will continue to learn about healthy relationships and how to keep themselves safe. We have broken the topics down below by year group for your information in response to parental feedback asking us to clarify what children are learning in RSE.

We know that some families like to have advance warning of what will be taught so that they can be prepared for any questions their children may have. PLEASE NOTE, all of the following topics and lessons are taught at an age-appropriate level and in line with our Catholic ethos. You can access the lessons and read about what your child will be taught in detail using the log in information at the bottom of this post.

 

Years 1 and 2:

What constitutes appropriate and inappropriate behaviour and how this may affect others Good and bad secrets - how to resist pressure when feeling unsafe Bodily privacy - PANTS 'what's covered by your underwear is private' (NSPCC) Harmful substances - medicines, smoking and alcohol

 

Years 3 and 4:
