Intent - What are we aiming for?

To give our pupils the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that they need to effectively navigate the complexities of life in the 21st Century. The curriculum, using the Kapow scheme of work, covers key areas which will support children to make informed choices now and in the future around their health, safety, wellbeing, relationships, and financial matters. It will support pupils in their personal development, actively promote the fundamental British values and support children in becoming active members of society. Everyone faces difficult situations in their lives. PSHE and RSE can support young people to develop strategies and resilience, to know how and when to ask for help, and to know where to access support. 

Through the delivery of Relationships Education, we intend to further our school’s aims of providing a curriculum which is relevant to the needs of pupils, both now and in the future. It will enable pupils to develop knowledge, skills and attitudes which enhance their personal development and wellbeing. This will have a direct, positive effect on their progress and achievement in school.  

All adults in school will work towards achieving the aims of our Relationships Education programme of study. These aims are to:  

• develop interpersonal and communication skills. 

• Ensure the teaching is accurate and age-appropriate 

• ensure the programme is inclusive and accessible for all children. 

• develop positive, personal values, a moral framework and inclusive attitudes to everyone, particularly to those with protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010, that will guide their decisions and behaviour. 

• respect themselves and others, their views, backgrounds, cultures and experiences. 

• develop respectful, caring relationships based on mutuality, reciprocation and trust. 

• develop their ability to keep themselves and others safe, physically and emotionally, both on and off-line. 

• develop their understanding of a variety of families and how families are central to the wellbeing of children. 

• recognise and avoid coercive and exploitative relationships. 

• explore relationships in ways appropriate to their age and stage of development. 

• value, care for and respect their bodies. 

• prepare the children for their next stage of education and adulthood. 

• build confidence in accessing additional advice and support for themselves and others.
