Relationships and Health Education
Queen’s Hills’ Vision for Relationships and Health Education is that children are equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to make and maintain positive relationships.
At Queens Hill we recognise the pivotal role that relationships have in learning and interacting with the world around us. We intend for every child to leave Queens Hill as tolerant, understanding and self-aware people who are ready to contribute to society.
At Queen’s Hill, we aim to ensure that every child has a holistic understanding of physical wellness, and is informed and able to maintain their health, including their mental wellbeing. At Queens Hill, RHE is an open conversation, with clear boundaries where children problem solve and re-enact scenarios. We intend to ensure that all children have the vocabulary available to them to identify their feelings and emotions and know how to manage these. But most importantly, children understand that it is natural to feel a range of different emotions on any given day. At Queens Hill, RHE promotes inclusion and teaches children about diversity in the compositions of families, gender, race and disabilities.
In essence, the aim for RHE at Queens Hill is that children leave the school with the knowledge and skills to maintain their health, form positive relationships and manage their emotions effectively.
Our RHE curriculum encompasses the statutory content of the Relationships Education, Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) and Health (2021) and guidance relating to Personal, Health and Economic Education (PSHE) to provide comprehensive coverage and support our pupils.
