RSHE
Relationship, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) provides students with life-skills that will enable them to make informed decisions and protect themselves against harmful and exploitative situations. RSHE is therefore an essential tool to safeguard children. RSHE contributes to the foundation of PSHE and offers a valuable vehicle for promoting equality between individuals and groups. It involves an exploration of human and social diversity, and a fostering of self worth whilst recognising, accepting and respecting differences.
Below is an example of how we recently delivered part of our RSHE curriculum:
Relationships Sex, and Health Education (RSHE) Power Day was an extremely successful day, with sessions being specifically tailored to all year groups in the school. We welcomed several outside agencies to deliver workshops and assemblies to students.
Up Front Theatre company who are always a favourite with the students delivered workshops in the following areas, Puberty and Emotions, Drugs and Alcohol Sex and Relationships and The Serious Chat (Mental Health).
Daniel Spargo Foundation delivered sessions to Year 9 and 10 for the first time, these sessions were hard hitting and very factual but gave students an insight into the dangers of illegal drugs and vaping.
We also welcomed back Zara from the Panda Anti-Racism team, who delivered workshops to Year 7 and 8 around how to prevent and respond to racism.
Midwives from MSI Reproductive Choices delivered small sessions to Year 11 and 13 students on contraception, STIs, pregnancy and consent.
We also had a speaker from One Chance and DBA Project discussing County Lines with Years 7-10, educating them on the dangers of getting involved with the wrong people, what to do if they are asked to do something they know is wrong and where to turn to for help. Here are some other areas that were explored:
- Consent
- KCC Drivers course
- Vaping
- Cooking
- Relationships
- Just Dance
- Recognising and preventing bullying
- Transport and travel
- Financial choices
