RHE

Realtionships and Health Education (RHE)

At Dobcroft Infant School our Realationships and health Education is embedded in to our school ethos and curriculum. 

Our RHE curriculum forms part of our schools personal development. The RHE curriculum in KS1 forms part of the sheffield scheme, which was developed in consultation with headteachers and faith leaders in the city.

As Dobcroft Infant school only goes up to KS1 we only cover realtionships and health education. Sex Education is not covered until KS2.

In the Foundation Stage

The children are taught how to build upon their own experiences and work towards achieving the Early Learning Goal (ELG) for Personal, Social and Emotional Development. This is divided into three main areas of Building Relationships, Managing Self and Self-Regulation.

The children have weekly circle time sessions that link to the six different whole school themes.

In Key Stage 1 

Our RHE curriculum covers work on relationships and Health and Wellbeing. Children focus on a different theme each half term:

In KS1 the children are taught skills and rules for staying healthy and safe and for behaving well. Children are given opportunities to show they can take some responsibility for themselves and their environment. They begin to learn about their own and other people’s feelings and become aware of the views, needs and rights of others. They learn social skills such as how to share, take turns, play, help others, resolve simple arguments and resist bullying.
