From September 2020, the Government has decided that all primary age children will be taught Relationships and Health Education (RHE).

Relationships and Health Education is designed to equip children with knowledge to make informed decisions about their wellbeing, health and relationships as well as preparing them for a successful adult life.

The vast majority of the topics and themes which the Government is now asking all schools to deliver has been taught through our current  PSHE education programme – this is an important part of our approach to developing the whole child at SS Peter and Paul.

Please view our RHE and PSHE Policies to find out about our approach to this area of our curriculum at SS Peter and Paul.  The other documents within this page are designed to give you further information and context about our wider approach to PSHE and RHE. These include:
