Relationships and Sex Education Policy

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.

PSHE Matters Resource for Families

The PSHE Matters for Families leaflets provide fun and interesting activities for families to learn more about topics such as mental health, dealing with change and forming positive relationships.

The leaflets were developed to enhance the PSHE Curriculum that primary schools currently deliver. The theme of the leaflets supports the 12 different modules that feature in the resource: ‘PSHE Matters a Curriculum for Primary Schools.’
