T eaching about relatonships is done through the wider curriculum, our wellbeing programme and assemblies. From EYFS up to Year 6 we consider; what is a friend? How can you be a good friend? What does a healthy relatonship look like? How can we manage difcult relatonships? How can we promote kindness, honesty, humility, generosity consideraton and respect? • Each week we award a Kindness Cup in our praise assemblies to recognise children who show these qualites. • Wellbeing assemblies (PSHE and SMSC) across the school help children to make informed decisions about their wellbeing (physical health and mental health) and relatonships. These provide essental life skills, develop resilience and know who to turn to for help. • Good RE teaching ensures that children have an understanding and respect for diferent faiths and develop a social, moral, cultural awareness. • On Line Safety educaton provide children with about appropriate behaviour and conduct online, how to keep themselves and their personal informaton safe. Children are made aware of CEOP and who they can turn to for help. • Gender equality teaching throughout the school (which challenges perceived limits on pupils based on their gender or any other characteristc). Ensure that males and females are respectul to each other and foster a health and respectul peer to peer communicaton and behaviour between girls and boys. Use the policy Sexual Violence and Harassment Between Children In Schools and Colleges for advice. • Staf play a role in modelling positve behaviour. There is a culture where homophobia and gender stereotypes are not tolerated and any occurrences are identfed and tackled. • Through our assembly schedule we provide informaton and educaton about Stonewall (LGBT), Ant-Bullying, Black History Month, Holocaust Memorial Day and Internatonal Women’s Day etc). • Sensitve teaching about families and how families of many forms provide a nurturing environment for children. • UNICEF – ‘the rights of the child’ and NSPCC safeguarding assemblies to ensure that children refect on their rights, consider the relatonships around them and recognise abuse. Children are encouraged to speak to a trusted adult or Safeguarding Champion if things are difcult for them. • Transiton from Year 6 to 7 to support pupils ongoing emotonal and physical development (see RAISE programme, transiton assemblies and meetngs).
