At Mendham Primary School we are committed to providing all pupils with a planned Personal, Social, Health, Education (PSHE) programme to enable them to acquire the knowledge, understanding, skills and strategies they need to develop an understanding of themselves, empathy and the ability to work with others to help pupils form and maintain good relationships, develop the essential skills for future employability and better enjoy and manage their lives. A full outline of our PSHE curriculum is available by request.

The Government made Relationships Education and Health Education statutory for all schools from September 2020, so we have integrated the statutory requirements into our planned PSHE curriculum and other supporting curriculum areas. We will be teaching this content before the end of summer term.

The Government has produced some information leaflets for parents to explain what the new curriculum consists of and is trying to achieve. To view these resources, please visit: https://www.gov/uk/government/publications/relationships-sex-and-health-education-guides-for­schools

As part of the school's PSHE programme, children learn about the emotional, social and physical aspects of growing up, healthy relationships and keeping themselves safe both on and offline.

As they progress through primary school, they will cover the following aspects of Relationships Education and Relationships and Sex Education (SRE).

• Pupils in all year groups from Reception to Year 6 are taught that some body parts are private and that their body belongs to them.
• Pupils in all year groups are taught about what physical contact is acceptable or unacceptable and that they have a right to say no both on and offline (consent). They are taught that they should tell an adult if they are worried. This is vital to support the work we do in keeping all pupils safe. To support us in delivering this message to the pupils, we use information from the NSPCC Underwear Rule campaign. You can find out more at http://www.nspcc.org.uk/
