RSHE

Vision

Our curriculum is embedded throughout pastoral and curriculum input. It sits alongside the values and ethos of the school, with PRIDE values being a critical component of the education students receive in RSHE. The RSHE curriculum is statutory so the provision is mandatory, but beyond that our students deserve the best opportunity to stay safe and reach their potential, learning how to be adults of the highest character who are inspiring, moral citizens of the world, driven by kindness and consideration for others.

The curriculum places a high value on respect and tolerance, developing empathy and listening to others opinions. The students own viewpoints and experiences are important. Staff use “talking points” which link across the curriculum, so that listening, articulating and challenging each other’s views are a valuable way students can develop deeper understanding of the issues and the different perspectives that may exist within a diverse community. RSHE is delivered through tutor time activities, assemblies, special visits and events, service opportunities, Humanities, Science and English curriculum lessons as relevant topics are covered through the national curriculum. Modules provide a clear focus, but the issues are interlinked and constantly related to each other. The curriculum provides the flexibility for modules to be moved should a particular issue need addressing in response to local or national events. The below represents an overview of the minimum offer in a particular year group, learning from previous years is revisited to reinforce key messages.
