PSHE and RSHE

At Millfield Primary School, we believe that relationship, sex and health education (RSHE) enables our children to become kind, empathic, healthy and safe members of society. Our curriculum aims to help children understand how they are developing personally and socially, and tackles many of the moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up in the world today. We have created this curriculum alongside our school ethos Millfield CARES.

We believe that by providing a nurturing and caring environment, all children thrive academically, socially and emotionally. Lessons will be built upon throughout the phases and will ultimately give our children the skills to prepare them for the future. The lessons have been carefully planned and structured following the government guidance, with planned progression and building on terminology and understanding from the previous year’s learning. Alongside this, each class teacher will adapt or reinforce content depending upon the needs and situations within their own classes. Within the SRB, the teacher and adults look at the specific needs of the children within the setting and follow the age-related guidance where appropriate for those individuals.

We are passionate about supporting the mental health and wellbeing of all pupils at Millfield Primary School. We support this through quality teaching and learning about awareness and management of mental health through the curriculum. We provide support through outdoor learning with Forest School provision and the Wellbeing team small group and 1:1 support.
