At Ambergate Primary School, we believe P.S.H.E is vital in a child's education. We teach P.S.H.E in a variety of age appropriate ways so our children to understand their own emotions, understand relationships, know about difference and diversity, know how to stay safe both on and offline, know about growing up, understand how to stay healthy and know about money and future careers.

Relationships and Sex Education Policy

We are proud to be a No Outsiders School.

No Outsiders is a whole school ethos teaching children that everyone is different, and everyone belongs: there are no outsiders at our school because everyone is welcome. We use age appropriate picture books and sentence stems to support respectful discussion.

Building Effective Relationships Together (BERT) Award

We are proud to announce that we have achieved the Bronze BERT Award. Part of the work towards the award has been further developing our Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) provision, further developing positive relationships in the school community and reducing stigma around asking for help and support on sensitive issues, such as puberty, body image and online friendships. We feel very strongly that when children have good friendships and connections with others, it supports their safety, mental health and wellbeing. This then has a positive impact on their ability to take part in lessons and to achieve well in their learning.

We are delighted to announce that our school has achieved the Bronze SMILERS Award, recognising our commitment to supporting pupils’ health and wellbeing. The SMILERS framework focuses on seven key habits - sleep, move, interest, look, eat well, relax, and socialise, all of which help children develop positive routines and build resilience.

Earning the Bronze Award shows the fantastic progress our whole school community has made in promoting these healthy habits. We are proud of this milestone and excited to continue our journey towards the Silver Award.
