At Monkhouse Primary School the well-being of our children is of the greatest importance.
RSE stands for “relationships and sex education” and as part of Relationships and Health Education, is a new approach to teaching children about relationships and health.
With todays challenging world it is so important that we help them to develop the knowledge, understanding and skills to keep themselves healthy and safe.
By Monkhouse Primary School adopting a whole school approach to PSHE we believe that this will enable the children to develop the qualities and attributes needed in order to to manage challenges and opportunities both now and in later life.
This is achieved by teaching pupils to stay safe, understand relationships, look after and understand their bodies and mental health and respect themselves and others around them. By teaching PSHE in this way we aim to build resilience, self-esteem and raise the aspirations of our pupils.
