Intention |
||
| At Star Primary, our rights based RSHE curriculum ensures that all children are equipped to address the challenges of having a happy and successful adult life. All children will develop knowledge and skills that will enable them to make informed decisions about their wellbeing, health and relationships and to build their self-efficacy. We aim to grow and nurture the fundamental building blocks and characteristics of positive relationships, with particular reference to friendships, family relationships, and relationships with other children and with adults. We want children to make safe choices both on and offline, build resilience and lead a healthy life. Everyone faces difficult situations in their lives. These subjects can support young people to develop resilience, to know how and when to ask for help, and to know where to access support. |

Implementation |
||
| The majority of the RSHE content is taught through the Happy Schools scheme of work and we look for opportunities to draw links with other subjects and integrate teaching where appropriate. The Happy School’s scheme of work is taught every week which over time enhances the personal, social, emotional and economic wellbeing and happiness of our school community, and supports children’s mental health. There are five areas of focus: self confidence, achievement and success, positive relationships, support and coping skills. Children are rewarded with ‘Happy leaves’ in assembly when they show achievements in the 5 areas above and every class has a happy tree to display their leaves. Core knowledge is broken down and communicated clearly to pupils, in a carefully sequenced way, within a planned programme or lessons. Vocabulary is used to enable pupils to articulate their feelings and viewpoints. Pupils are taught the rules and principles for keeping safe online including: how to recognise risk, harmful content and contact and how to report them. Content is taught each half term through both Computing and RSHE lessons. High quality, evidence-based and age-appropriate teaching of these subjects can help prepare pupils for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adult life. They can also enable schools to promote the spiritual, moral, social, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils, at school and in society. In UKS2 our pupils have a sex education programme tailored to the age and the physical and emotional maturity of the pupils. |

Impact |
||
| Our pupils are confident and happy. They are able to negotiate challenges effectively and positively and have developed the capacity to make decisions when facing risks and challenges. Children can recognise the characteristics of a secure and healthy family life and understand that other families may look different but are characterised by love and care. Children recognise if relationships on and offline are making them unhappy or unsafe that they can seek help. Children care and are respectful of others and know how to keep themselves safe. Star pupils are resilient and have strategies that help them have good mental and physical health. Pupils are prepared for the Secondary school RSHE curriculum. | |||

Enrichment |
|
Children at Star Primary are given many enrichment opportunities as part of the wider RSHE Curriculum. Children have opportunities to participate in many workshops relating to the topics. These are delivered by laughology and companies such as Diverse Voices. Year 6 children take part in numerous transition units as part of getting ready for secondary school. Children participate in a wide range of extra activities such as camping, outdoor challenges in the Lake district and Stubbers adventure camp which allows them to refine their RSHE skills and practise their understanding in real life situations. Children also participate in numerous cross curricular trips such as visits to religious places where they have opportunities to utilise skills learnt in RSHE and apply them to the world around us. |
